Farming and hospitality together define the Highland economy around Kingussie, and our security work here follows suit: rural patrols for land and machinery, evening and seasonal cover for places that host visitors.
Trusted Protection in Kingussie
Highland's 11,105 registered businesses include 2,235 in agriculture and 1,395 in hospitality. Both shares are far above the British norm: 20.1% against 4.5% for farming, and 12.6% against 6.5% for hospitality. For Kingussie that translates into two distinct sets of risk. Remote farmsteads need watching when nobody is around, while hotels, bars and galleries need help on busy nights and protection when they close up for quieter months.
Kingussie Business Profile
Construction is the Highland area's second largest sector, with 1,670 firms, so compounds and plant also feature in our planning, even though only one building site is mapped near Kingussie. For farms the fit is usually a rural mobile patrol combined with solar-powered CCTV towers, which work on open ground and send footage back for remote monitoring.
Hospitality operators tend to want evening cover, door supervision for events, and key holding through the off season. All officers we assign are SIA-licensed, have passed BS 7858 vetting and are employed via PAYE. Each patrol is tracked by GPS book-on and written up digitally, and our control room handles alarm activations and escalation around the clock.

Security Requirements in Kingussie
Kingussie is a Scottish town and historic burgh in the Highlands, within the historic county of Inverness-shire. It has its own station, with Newtonmore's nearby, and Newtonmore Industrial Estate is the named commercial site within 5km. Three pubs and bars and the Iona Gallery make up the local leisure offer. With commercial premises spread thinly, the biggest security gap is simply how long a building can go without anyone checking it.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk does not publish data for Scotland, so Kingussie's crime statistics sit with Police Scotland instead.

For something specific to your farm, hotel or unit, book our free on-site audit: we look at boundaries, locks, lighting, alarms and storage, then grade each against a 25-point checklist and recommend proportionate measures.
