*************

Loch Insh is a loch in Highlands region, Scotland.

It is situated in the heart of Badenoch and Strathspey, seven miles south of Aviemore and seven miles north of Kingussie. The nearest village to the loch is Kincraig. The loch is a location for sailing, windsurfing and kayaking/canoeing. There is a well stocked watersports centre on the southeast side of the loch and good fishing also. The watersports centre is complemented by several Chalets and a small hotel by the name of Insh Hall.

Kincraig (Scottish Gaelic: Ceann na Creige) is a village located north of Kingussie and south of Aviemore in Highland, Scotland. Its original name was Boat of Inch, reflecting the ferry boat crossing of the Spey River that once operated here. The name was changed after a single track bridge was erected around 1871.

The village lies at the side of the former A9 road, the B9152, and close to the current A9 dual carriageway. It is close to Loch Insh which is fed from and drains into the river Spey. It has a pub and village hall^[1] but Kincraig Stores and Post Office which traded continuously for 120 years closed in July 2016. The main Perth to Inverness railway passes through, although the station closed in 1965.

There is a mix of housing ages and types, from Victorian stone build cottages and villas, through 1930s terraces, to 1980s' individually designed detached houses in their own plots to a 1990's estate of detached houses.

Alvie Primary School is located at the north end, the Loch Inch Outdoor Centre about 2 miles south east and The Highland Wildlife Park about 3 miles south west.
