Whitewashed and set on a low knoll above Loch Alvie, St Drostán’s is the little parish kirk between Kincraig and Aviemore. There’s been worship on this spot since well before 1300, though the present building is later. Best caught around a service or by arrangement. Aviemore station is about 9km to the north-east.
