Two projects about sports and enjoying the outdoors are the latest to benefit from funding from the Cairngorms LEADER programme.

Facilities at the pitch will be upgraded to the standard expected of a 21st century modern day sports club and to a high enough standard that in the future Kingussie could apply to host major occasions such as National Shinty Finals and International matches.
