Kingussie

Kingussie is a small burgh in the Scottish Highlands adjacent to the A9 road, although the old route of the A9 served as the town's main street. Kingussie is the capital of the district of Badenoch and is 3 miles from Newtonmore, which is its greatest rival in the game of Shinty. The ruins of the Ruthven Barracks lie near the original site of the village which was moved to avoid the flood plain of the River Spey. The biggest tourist attraction in the town is the Highland Folk Museum. The main railway line to Inverness passes through from Edinburgh and Glasgow. In the past few years, the TV series Monarch of the Glen has been filmed in and around the area of Kingussie.
