Newtonmore Association
The Newtonmore Association began as the Newtonmore Traders Association in the 80s when the majority of members were retailers. At that time the village had around 20 stores, accommodation providers and tradespeople. Now, we’re sad to see the village Main Street with only a few shops – our Post Office, Pharmacy, Coop, Barbers, cafes and grill. Currently, Newtonmore Association represents a wide group of business from a variety disciplines, as well as individuals. NA represents the interests of all who are based in and around Newtonmore.
