2019 Scotch Whisky
©2019 scotch whisky association DISCOVER THE WORLD OF SCOTCH WHISKY Many countries produce whisky, but Scotch Whisky can only be made in Scotland and by definition must be distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of 3 years. Scotch Whisky has been made for more than 500 years and uses just a few natural raw materials - water, cereals and yeast. Scotland is home to over 130 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest MAP OF concentration of whisky producers in the world. Many of the Scotch Whisky distilleries featured on this map bottle some of their production for sale as Single Malt (i.e. the product of one distillery) or Single Grain Whisky.

Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park
Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park Place-Names in the Cairngorms This leaflet provides an introduction to the background, meanings and pronunciation of a selection of the place-names in the Cairngorms National Park including some of the settlements, hills, woodlands, rivers and lochs in the Angus Glens, Strathdon, Deeside, Glen Avon, Glen Livet, Badenoch and Strathspey. Place-names give us some insight into the culture, history, environment and wildlife of the Park. They were used to help identify natural and built landscape features and also to commemorate events and people. The names on today’s maps, as well as describing landscape features, remind us of some of the associated local folklore. For example, according to local tradition, the River Avon (Aan): Uisge Athfhinn – Water of the Very Bright One – is said to be named after Athfhinn, the wife of Fionn (the legendary Celtic warrior) who supposedly drowned while trying to cross this river. The name ‘Cairngorms’ was first coined by non-Gaelic speaking visitors around 200 years ago to refer collectively to the range of mountains that lie between Strathspey and Deeside. Some local people still call these mountains by their original Gaelic name – Am Monadh Ruadh or ‘The Russet- coloured Mountain Range’.These mountains form the heart of the Cairngorms National Park – Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh. Invercauld Bridge over the River Dee Linguistic Heritage Some of the earliest place-names derive from the languages spoken by the Picts, who ruled large areas of Scotland north of the Forth at one time. The principal language spoken amongst the Picts seems to have been a ‘P-Celtic’ one (related to Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Gaulish). -

From the Kingussie Burgh Records
The Railway and the Burgh Building the railway near Kingussie in the early 1860s. At Kingussie there was a small, curious, chattering crowd of people who, however, did not really make us out, but evidently suspected who we were. Grant and Brown kept them off the carriages and gave them evasive answers, directing them to the wrong carriage which was most amusing. Leaves from the Journal of our Life in the Highlands, Queen Victoria, writing about 1861 The remote, and in some respects inaccessible, parts of the Highlands will be opened up to a degree formerly unknown, and will be brought into direct communication with the south. Apart from the immense facilities which the new line will afford to tourists, there can be no doubt that it will have great influence in stimulating industry and trade. Dundee Courier, 11th September 1863 The arrival of the railway to Kingussie in 1863 was a turning point in its history. In only about thirty years it was transformed from a relatively poor and isolated village to a thriving resort town. It was the means by which summer visitors would arrive for their holidays. All manner of goods could now be easily transported in or out. It became the rest stop for trains between Perth and Inverness; a busy refreshments room provided breakfast or dinner baskets, pre-ordered by passengers; local tea ladies kept the troops supplied during the wars. Kingussie station staff circa 1916. A young Duncan MacDonald can be seen in the second row, left. The Badenoch district, being formerly isolated, owes more to the promoters of the railway than any district in the north. -
