5 Outdoor Activities in Kingussie That You Shouldn't Miss
Kingussie (/kɪŋˈjuːsi/ ( listen) king-EW-see; Scottish Gaelic: Ceann a' Ghiùthsaich pronounced [ˈkʲʰaun̪ˠə ˈʝuːs̪ɪç] ) is a small town in the Badenoch and Strathspey ward of the Highland council area of Scotland. Historically in Inverness-shire, it lies beside the A9 road, although the old route of the A9 serves as the town's main street which has been bypassed since 1979. Kingussie is 42 miles (68 km) south of Inverness, 12 miles (19 km) south of Aviemore, and 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Newtonmore, which is its greatest rival in the game of shinty.

David took four of us out for a half day exploration of the Cairngorms Bowl. What fun. David’s knowledge of the area was second to none and the coaching given was on the money too. We were shown things we hadn’t seen before and given simple tips to help us take on the terrain more effectively. We couldn’t recommend David highly enough.
