Forces Manor

Welcome to Forces Manor 

Over 130 years ago, an Edinburgh doctor built what is now Forces Manor, a former shooting lodge that was staffed with servants. 

Today, Forces Manor, a tri-service, non-profit facility, in honour of the Royal Navy, the British Army, the Royal Airforce and British veteran community.

Forces Manor is located five minutes south of Aviemore in the village of Kincraig, in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Its purpose is to give a welcome break in a facility that knows how to care.

For many years, British forces have visited the Scottish Highlands to enjoy the region's great outdoor pursuits. Forces Manor aspires to be a distinctive destination.

At Forces Manor, we believe in more than just a good night’s sleep — we believe in togetherness.
