The Parish

Duthil and Rothiemurchus is a parish, which lies in Highland Council Area, some 14 miles (22 km) northeast of Kingussie in Highland and 22 miles (35 km) northwest of the parish of Crathie and Braemar in Aberdeenshire.

Prior to 1975 the parish was located in the old county of Inverness-shire, which was replaced by the Highland Region and in 1996 by the unitary authority named the Highland Council Area. Duthil was in the county of Elgin until 1870.

The parish has an area of 323.4 sq. km (124.8 sq. miles). In addition to the village of Duthil, it includes the villages of Aviemore, Boat of Garten, Carrbridge, Inverdruie and the smaller settlements of Coylumbridge, Dalnahaitnach, Drumuillie, Bogroy, Skye of Curr, and Achnahannet and Rothiemurchus Forest (see below).

For a 19th century description of the parish, see the description from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) as transcribed and copyrighted by Colin Hinson and provided on the web by GENUKI.

Rothiemurchus

the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Rothiemurchus Forest is a remnant of the Caledonian Forest near Aviemore. The forest is popular for recreation and contains important European wildlife, including the osprey, Scottish crossbill, capercaillie, crested tit and wild cat. Stretching from the River Spey to the high mountain plateau, Rothiemurchus sits within the Cairngorms National Park.

A living Highland estate in the ownership of the Grant family since the 16th century, it is cared for today by Johnnie Grant, 13th Earl of Dysart and 16th Laird of Rothiemurchus, his wife Philippa and their family.
