Tomintoul (/ˌtɒmɪnˈtaʊl/ⓘ; from Scottish Gaelic: Tom an t-Sabhail,[1] meaning "Hillock of the Barn") is a village in the Moray council area of Scotland in the historic county of Banffshire.
Within Cairngorms National Park, the village lies close to the banks of the River Avon and is said by some to be the highest village in the Scottish Highlands,[2] although at 345 m (1,132 ft) it is still much lower than the highest village in Scotland (Wanlockhead, in Dumfries and Galloway at 466 m (1,529 ft)). By 1841, the parish reached a population of 1,722. In 1951, this had fallen to just 531. The 2011 census indicated a village population of 716 people.[3] The village is historically part of the Parish of Kirmichael.
The 2004 film One Last Chance, starring Kevin McKidd and Dougray Scott,[4] was filmed in the village and the areas around it.[5]
The village is on the famed Whisky Trail, which also includes Dufftown, Keith, Tomnavoulin, and Marypark. The surrounding countryside forms the Glenlivet Estate.
Tomintoul Golf Club, founded in 1897, disappeared at the time of World War II.[6]
