Welcome, Failte

cnp_logoSurrounded by open spaces and big skies, Newtonmore is a small, peaceful, friendly village at the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

Officially the geographical centre of Scotland, our village is a hidden gem, nestling in the folds of the Spey Valley at the Southern Gateway to the Cairngorms National Park.

As such, Newtonmore is an ideal base from which you can easily sample the many activities and attractions in this delightful part of Scotland. The bright lights of the town of Aviemore are just a short trip away if you wish, but we know you'll quickly return to savour the relaxed atmosphere of our traditional highland village.

Idyllic, picturesque, traditional, scenic, tranquil, welcoming and friendly.
- This is Newtonmore, the village and its people.

Majestic mountains, secluded glens, wide-open spaces, tranquil lochs, rolling pastures, big skies, ancient forests, cascading rivers, historic locations and room to breathe.
- This is what you'll find all around Newtonmore.

Walking, cycling, golf, fishing, horse-riding, skiing, snowboarding, Monarch of the Glen, shinty, mountain-biking, whisky, climbing, canoeing, castles, Nessie, watersports, Clan MacPherson, our own Pipe Band and Highland Games.
- These are just some of the things you can do and see based here in Newtonmore.
