Kingussie

Kingussie stands beside the Gynack Burn in Scotland’s Badenoch district, a position between the Cairngorms and the River Spey that has long connected it to the wider Highland interior. The town is a notable centre for shinty: Kingussie Camanachd is one of the sport’s best-known clubs, reflecting a game still central to local identity. Just south of town, Ruthven Barracks was built by the British government in 1719 after the Jacobite rising of 1715; retreating Jacobites burned it in 1746. With a station on the Highland Main Line and a setting within Cairngorms National Park, Kingussie is a useful base for exploring Badenoch.
