Newtonmore

Newtonmore is a well-established resort town nestling in the upper reaches of the Spey valley within the Cairngorms National Park.

Lying 12 miles south of Aviemore and a close neighbour to Kingussie with whom it enjoys a fierce rivalry on the shinty pitch, Newtonmore is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, particularly anglers and grouse hunters. There are also a range of bike and walking trails to explore and bikes can be hired in the town.

The town's chief attractions are the excellent Highland Folk Museum (on a split site with the complementary half at Kingussie), the Waltzing Waters Light and Water Theatre and for those hunting their Highland ancestry, the Clan MacPherson Museum.
