The Badenoch Heritage Festival has been developed with local people showcasing the very best that local heritage has to offer in Dalwhinnie, Kincraig, Kingussie, Laggan and Newtonmore.
The programme celebrates Badenoch’s unique connections to landscape, highland community and the deep roots of storytelling. You can enjoy traditional music, living history, walks, talks and storytelling experiences. See the full Programme Here.
