Kingussie’s feast of food, fun and films a huge success
Kingussie’s Food on Film 2025 was a stunning success, with sell-out evening dates, superb fare on offer both on screen and table, and another scintillating Food Hall.
The hall was a fitting showpiece for the festival, with the Badenoch Centre’s sports hall transformed once more into a luxurious ‘marquee’ which attracted stall holders and food producers from a huge area enveloping Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Kirriemuir, Inverness, Forres and the Isle of Skye.
The bread-making competition saw the creation of a stunning variety of loaves ranging from Japanese milk bread, wholegrain seeded and ale & oat to eight-grain Cotswold crunch and roasted garlic, rosemary and gouda.
The day saw demonstrations which delighted the packed crowd, which itself came from across the strath, the Highlands and the country.
The festival was another mouthwatering collection of exotic dishes from across the world - Sri Lanka ad South Korea included.
This year’s impressive programme event featured a British premiere for Pedro Peira’s brilliant ‘Buddha jumps over the wall’ - with the man himself interviewed at the opening night in Gallery Eleven41 by film producer Katie Swan.
Also screened during the three-day fest were ‘The Way Home’, the childre’s special ‘Cloudy with a chance of meatballs’ and ‘The taste of things’.
A ceilidh at Talla nan Ros rounded things off on a high.
Here’s a just a glimpse of things at the Food Hall yesterday. A round-up and pictures will feature in this week’s Strathy on Thursday.
