Situated in the centre of the village next to the Village
Hall, the Wildcat Centre is there to provide information to visitors on
the walks around the area of the village.
The centre is staffed by volunteers who serve on a rota basis and are
well equipped to provide up to date information on these walks and also
to give the visitor information regarding the other walks around the
Highlands and throughout Scotland.
|
| The Wildcat Centre is set up to provide information on the Wildcat
Trail, and supply a copy of the Wildcat Trail Brochure. The Trail is
a ten Kilometre (six mile) circular walk around the village. It
can be completed in one go if your are feeling fit but for those who are
not so fit or so young the trail is in six sections which can be walked
at your own pace. The brochure also includes information on eleven radial
walks which start from the village and return. |

 |
The centre is equipped to provide information on the weather
conditions and avalanche danger in the hills, and if anyone needs
information from another area the centre has reference books and other
information to enable these other places to be contacted. |
|
The Centre also houses the Millennium Book of Newtonmore which is a record of
those people who were resident in the village at the turn of the millennium. The
information is there for people to see and consists of pictures of the residents
accompanied by hand written information supplied by the people concerned.
