Kingussie
Kingussie is a village in the Badenoch as well as Strathspey ward of the Highland council area of Scotland. Historically in Inverness-shire, it adjoins the A9 road, although the old course of the A9 works as the town's primary road which has actually been bypassed since 1979. Kingussie is 42 miles (68 km) south of Inverness, 12 miles (19 kilometres) south of Aviemore, and 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Newtonmore. The name "Kingussie" comes from the Gaelic, "Ceann a' Ghiuthsaich" which means "Head of the Pine woodland". The damages of the very early 18th-century Ruthven Barracks (Historic Scotland; open to visitors whatsoever times) lie near the initial site of the town, which was relocated to avoid the flood plain of the River Spey. The Hanoverian Barracks were improved the site of Ruthven Castle, the seat of the Comyns, Lords of Badenoch in the Middle Ages.
