Insh


Insh is a village that lies on the east coast of the Insh Marshes. It is around east of Kingussie, in the valley of the River Spey in Badenoch and Strathspey, Inverness-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Highland council area. It is located on the B970 from Kingussie to Kincraig and Aviemore, at the other side of the valley from the A9. Not far along the road towards Ruthven Barracks is the small privately owned Speyside Distillery.

Location

Insh is probably best known as the location of the RSPB Insh Marshes Wildlife Reserve. It is close to Loch Insh where it is possible to take part in various watersports, including windsurfing and sailing. There are also walks in the woods around Insh as well.
Insh no longer has a school but does retain a small church. It is also supposed to be the location of one of the oldest inns in the area, the building next to the telephone box, now a house named ‘Rose Cottage’.
