[5] The name of the village may have come from the Scottish Gaelic innis, meaning an island, or, as in this context, a piece of terra firma in a marsh.

[6] Alternatively, inch or innis can refer to a meadow or low-lying pasture which more closely corresponds with the site of the village.

A number of small play-parks are scattered around the village, along with a larger play park and football pitch beside the leisure centre.

The village is served by Insch railway station and has regular bus services to Huntly and Inverurie with connections to Aberdeen and Inverness.

The club expanded further in 1987, when a clubhouse facility – complete with changing rooms, office, bar, café and dance floor – was provided from the remnants of temporary accommodation for a local school.
