Kingston's past includes a large shipbuilding industry started in the 1700's. This utilised the enormous amount of timber from the local surrounding forests. Also in 1829, some of the village homes were lost in the great flood, "the Muckle Spate". Todays Kingston is a lovely quiet village to visit and live. It remains a preferred home for an abundance of Scottish wildlife. One can always observe the "locals"; dolphins, salmon, otters, osprey, seals and the numerous birds and waterfowl who make this habitat their home here. This as well makes it a favourite for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. Walkers also enjoy many of the different footpaths along the Lein, Burnside, the Browlands towards the village of Garmouth, the Spey Viaduct footpath or along the stone beaches of Kingston and Spey Bay. Avid fishermen alike, try to attempt to land a famous Spey salmon on the River Spey or surf fish off Kingston beach. There is also the local golf course found between Kingston and Garmouth. cw |
