Right in the heart of the Scottish Highlands lies Newtonmore, surrounded by the secluded glens and riverside walks of the Cairngorms National Park. This is official 'Monarch of the Glen' country, with a number of locations in and around the village having starred in the hit BBC TV series. That reason alone makes Newtonmore a popular destination for breaks in Scotland, with fans of the series eager to see Glenbogle and the stunning countryside.
Newtonmore's main attractions are 'Monarch of the Glen', with locations across Badenoch and Strathspey having been used in shooting. Loch Laggan and Ardverikie (Glenbogle) House are the highlights, although visitors are permitted to view the latter from Loch Laggan as it isn't open to the public. For non-Monarch fans on an escorted coach tour, the noteworthy Highland Folk Museum and Clan Macpherson Museum provide an insight into Highlands life, showcasing interesting relics and remains dating back 400 years.
- 'Monarch of the Glen' lover or not, the region's fabulous scenery won't disappoint on your Scotland tour.
