We stayed at McInnes House, https://www.mcinneshousehotel.com/. Very helpful, very accommodating stay. We felt entirely welcome and well taken care of. Good breakfasts and dinner. Because of a train cancellation we arrived late after dinner was over, but the staff served us soup and sandwiches. It was a great place to stay. They even called out bags half way to the train station when we were leaving.
A car tour of Caringorms National Park, https://www.visitcairngorms.com/, was scheduled for our full day in Kingussie. The tour was not enjoyable. Just lots of driving. We stopped in two towns, saw the entrance to Balmor estate, and ate lunch at a posh place. We were out for 8 hours and about 6 hours was driving. Disappointing. But we did get some good pics and I bought a nice sweater in a thrift store in Ballater. During much of the drive I could feel that I was driving in the Appalachian mountains.
We had a few hours before leading in the morning and a very nice walk around Kingussie. It seemed like a town where there are a number of things one could get involved in. Stopped for a pleasant coffee and baked goods at The Paper Shop Bakery. Also visited a gallery of art by locals.
