Kingussie Camanachd Club

By Alison MacKeachan

In Kingussie, shinty is the beating heart of our community; but the shinty family extends so much further, with auld enemies battled on the pitch switching to supportive kinship off the field (well, mostly). My husband (Ewan), son (Rory) and I are proud to be part of the shinty family which exists because of the volunteers who run the Club - just like all shinty clubs - because the game is in their souls and they are giving back to the sport that gave them so much.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

As an ancient sport, the continuing legacy of shinty has had a lasting influence on many local communities across the Highlands and Islands. We would love to know, what are your favourite memories you or your family associate with the game? Tell us below, we can't wait to hear from you!
