This walk can be undertaken in either direction, and is on
tarmac roads all the way. For a clockwise route set
off from the village square towards Kingussie. On reaching the Balavil Sport
Hotel turn left up the short road to Church Terrace and turn right. On reaching
the start of Clune Terrace turn left and proceed uphill, taking the first road
on your right at the bend in Clune Terrace. Continue uphill. Over the cattle grid veer right
and carry on to the summit of the brae. This walk has a fine view of the village
and the strath of the Spey, towards the summits of Cairngorm (An Carn
Gorm -- the blue mountain) and Braeriach (Am Braigh Riabhach --
the greyish-brown speckled slope) to the east. To
the north and west the view is of the moor of Strone with the summits of A’ Chailleach ( A’
Chailleach -- the old woman) and Am Bodach (Am Bodach -- the old man ) as prominent
features. The land here is crofting land worked by the Strone and Craggan
Crofting communities. The road now swings downhill to the right until the main
road is reached at the cottage called Eastholm. Turn right here and return to
the village centre.
To make the trip anticlockwise go from the village square to
Eastholm and proceed uphill to the left
