The Duke of Gordon Hotel, Kingussie is situated in the centre of this quiet highland village and has stunning views over the Spey Valley. It offers modern facilities combined with the character and heritage of an old Scottish Coaching Inn. Bedrooms are ensuite and have tea/coffee making facilities and TV. The hotel has a lift but many bedrooms still have a few steps to them. We include two spectacular train journeys – the Kyle Line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, and the celebrated West Highland Line from Fort William to Mallaig.

The Duke of Gordon Hotel

The hotel is honoured that it is used as a base by the Macpherson Clan when clan members from all over the world visit the Highlands every year for their international gathering at the Duke.

The Hotel prides itself on its restaurant and excellence of cuisine. The experience of dining in the elegance of our impressive Balmoral Restaurant with its heavily corniced ceilings and Peddie murals depicting Scottish Highland history and local scenes of great natural beauty is not one easily forgotten.
