Join me for a walk around the exquisite Highland town of Kingussie, located just a stone's throw away from the geographical centre of Scotland! Having started out life as a tiny riverside village, Kingussie grew to become a precise planned town devised by the Duke of Gordon, today famed for its architecture, surrounding landscape, the ruins of the nearby Ruthven Barracks - and the world's most successful sports team of all time!
On our walk around Kingussie, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the Old Town Graveyard, The Clock Tower, High Street, The Star Hotel, Talla Nan Ròs (formerly St. Andrew's Church), Kingussie Bowling Club, Victoria Hall, Gynack Burn, Kingussie Town Fountain, Kingussie Railway Station, Gynack Gardens, Kingussie War Memorial, the Duke of Gordon Hotel, Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Columba, Kingussie old Courthouse, The Tipsy Laird, Am Fasgadh (former Highland Folk Museum) and the Iona Gallery.
