From our base in the Wildcat Centre, we greet visitors and give advice on walks and attractions in and around Newtonmore, manage the popular Wildcat Experience (seeking out 132 life-size painted model wildcats around the village) and promote and maintain the Wildcat Trail (a delightful 10k signposted orbital walk around the village). We work in partnership with other local attractions (e.g. Highland Folk Museum, Highland Wildlife Park), local landowners, crofters as well as local businesses and schools. The Trust maintains a website and a page on Facebook.

We provide small grants to support local projects.
Coming soon – visit our dedicated webpage for background information.
