Secretary
I’m originally from Fort William but moved to the Kincraig area in 1994. I was employed as Factor for Alvie & Dalraddy Estates at the time, where I remained for 27 years. This is my second term on the Kincraig & Vicinity Community Council after serving for 11 years previously. During my time here I been Chairperson of the Alvie School Board, before being involved in the transition to Alvie Parent Council, when I continued as Chair for a further three years.
My great interest has always been rugby. In 1995, I joined Strathspey Rugby Club as a player, after which I became a Committee Member where I was responsible for organising sponsorship, eventually becoming Club Convener for a number of years, before undertaking my final role as Coach to the team.
I am officially retired but enjoy doing part time work.
Treasurer
I have lived in Kincraig since 1991 and joined the Community Council to help with social events in 2014, then became a Community Councillor in 2017, and Council Treasurer since 2019. I look after the website and emails for the Community Council. I live in Kincraig with my partner Keith, after a busy career in hospitality and event management I am now retired and enjoy a great social life, cooking, cycling, crafting and travelling.
Community Councillor
I arrived in Kincraig 22 years ago, I am also on the village hall committee. I own the “easy jetting” business in the local area, running the local pub, the Suie Bar and other adventurous occupations.

John Christie has been involved with the Community Council in the previous years and we are pleased he has joined us again in 2026.
John and his family live at Easel Farm, Dalnavert and are renowned for their fabulous local strawberries!
Community Councillor
Associate Member
I really enjoy getting involved with a variety of projects in the village, helping to develop the whole area through the Community Council and the Village Hall. The Funday brings the whole village together which is great and the winter lights bring a touch of cheer. Add into that, working with the schools to involve them in Remembrance Sunday and other community projects such as gardening with the Primary 4’s keeps me in touch with education. Local History is very relevant and exiting to me as I explore themes with Badenoch Heritage and Loch Insh Old Kirk.
