With the snow gone off the courses, golf is available again Kingussie's challenging 18-hole hillside golf course, offers spectacular views of the National Park. which contains a quarter of Scotland’s native woodlands and is refuge to many rare species of flora and fauna. Highland courses are the real hidden gems of Scottish Golf, challenging and set amongst some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world, to suit every budget and every ability.

Or, invigerating walks through glorious countryside, visit the ruins of Ruthven Barracks - a pleasant country walk from the village

So….break free from city life and take to the byways, vast moorland, hills, and Highland glens. Breathe in the pure highland air, which brightens the eye and lightens the step. Total freedom to relax, unwind and accept the slower pace of the Highlands.
