Newtonmore, home of the MacPherson Clan, is a small and tranquil town on the River Spey in the Scottish Highlands. It is often referred to as the walking capital of Scotland with a choice of riverside, glen and munro walks. So many other physical activities are there to be enjoyed, with a golf course on the banks of the Spey, pony trekking at the Newtonmore Riding Centre, fishing, shooting, stalking and weekly world-class shinty matches (think violent hockey) in season. For mountain bikers, be brave and prepare yourself - and the family - for a mountain bike ride on one of three routes (green, red and black) at the Laggan Wolftrack.
