Kingussie Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages
to rent in Kingussie, Scotland.
A Kingussie cottage holiday promises a number of things: clean
mountain air, magnificent scenery, the warmest Highland hospitality
and plenty of things to see and do.
Feel like you've been here before? Perhaps you watched the
popular TV series 'Monarch of the Glen'. It was filmed on
location in the Upper Spey Valley and many scenes featured
Kingussie.
When it comes to outdoor activities, Kingussie comes up trumps
with rock climbing, hill walking, horse-riding and a variety of
water and winter sports. Golfers will delight at the dramatic
hillside fairways of the 18-hole course, affording amazing views of
the Cairngorms National Park.
More leisurely outdoor pursuits include fishing and bird
watching at the Insh Marshes Bird Reserve, an important area of
wetlands with the chance to spot rare birds as well as wild cats,
otters and roe deer. For close encounters with other animals, both
local and exotic, head for the Highland Wildlife Park, where you
drive around the main reserve and then explore another area on
foot.
Perhaps Kingussie's main claim to fame is shinty, an ancient
Gaelic field sport requiring speed, stamina and courage. Do try and
watch the local team in action during your Kingussie cottage
holiday.
Interested in history? Visit the Highland Folk Museum and step
back in time to the 1700s; or walk to the ruins of Ruthven
Barracks, a fascinating site of historic interest amid glorious
surroundings.
Add a selection of fine eateries and your Kingussie cottage
holiday is complete.
