Situated in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, it is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, including lush green hills, vast forests, and tranquil lochs. The village is nestled on the banks of the River Spey, one of Scotland's most famous salmon rivers.

With a population of only a few dozen residents, Gergask is a peaceful and close-knit community. The village mainly consists of traditional stone houses, giving it a charming and rustic atmosphere. The locals rely on agriculture and fishing as their primary sources of income, with many farms dotting the surrounding countryside.

Nature enthusiasts are drawn to Gergask due to its proximity to the Cairngorms National Park, which offers a wide range of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife spotting. The area is also known for its abundance of bird species, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers.

Although Gergask is a small village, it is conveniently located near larger towns such as Kingussie and Aviemore, where residents and visitors can find a wider range of amenities and services. Additionally, the nearby A9 road provides easy access to Inverness, the capital city of the Highlands.
