Archiestown

The picturesque village of Archiestown, situated on the scenic B9102 road to Grantown-on-Spey, is the largest village in the parish of Knockando. The village takes its name from Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk who founded the village on the moor of Ballintomb about 1760. Prominently sited in the village is the 18 foot high war memorial which was unveiled in 1920 by the Duke of Richmond and Gordon. The hotel dates from 1900.
