Strathmashie And Laggan - Strathmashie is a peaceful hamlet just outside the village of Laggan, nestled in the heart of the Central Highlands of Scotland. Surrounded by the Strathmashie Community Woodlands and flanked by the Monadhliath and Grampian mountain ranges, the area lies near the source of the famous River Spey—renowned as one of Scotland’s premier salmon fishing rivers.

Living here offers an exceptional connection to nature, with endless opportunities for exploring the unspoiled countryside. The area is rich in wildlife, from golden eagles and ospreys circling above to red deer stags and elusive pine martens in the woods. Wildflowers, ancient trees, and native plants line a vast network of walking and cycling routes, including the popular Laggan Wolftrax mountain biking trails located virtually on your doorstep.

The surrounding landscape has also served as a backdrop for numerous film and TV productions. Fans of the BBC’s "Monarch of the Glen" will recognise many nearby locations used for the fictional Glenbogle estate, and more recently, scenes from the James Bond franchise and Netflix’s The Crown have been filmed in the area.

For outdoor enthusiasts, this location is a true Highland haven. Activities such as hillwalking, mountaineering, skiing, golf, pony trekking, and loch or river fishing are all within easy reach. Despite its tranquil setting, Strathmashie is well-connected—Inverness, the Highland capital, is about 52 miles away and offers a growing airport with domestic and international flights, as well as excellent rail and bus links to the rest of Scotland and the UK. The nearby town of Kingussie also provides access to the mainline railway network.
