Kingussie
Kingussie is a village in the Badenoch as well as Strathspey ward of the Highland council location of Scotland. Historically in Inverness-shire, it lies beside the A9 road, although the old route of the A9 functions as the town's main street which has been bypassed because 1979. Kingussie is 42 miles (68 km) south of Inverness, 12 miles (19 kilometres) south of Aviemore, as well as 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Newtonmore. The name "Kingussie" comes from the Gaelic, "Ceann a' Ghiuthsaich" which suggests "Head of the Pine forest". The ruins of the early 18th-century Ruthven Barracks (Historic Scotland; open to site visitors in all times) lie near the original site of the village, which was transferred to avoid the flood plain of the River Spey. The Hanoverian Barracks were built on the website of Ruthven Castle, the seat of the Comyns, Lords of Badenoch in the Middle Ages.
