The Outsider Festival is a music and comedy festival first held in 2007 in the Rothiemurchus Estate near Aviemore in the Highlands of Scotland. It has been described as a new ground breaking environmental festival, the first of its kind in the world.

The 2007 festival was held over the midsummer weekend, and was part of Highland 2007. As well as music and comedy, the festival featured a variety of outdoor activities, including a 12km run and a mountain bike marathon. [http://www.highland2007.com/Eventsdetails.htm.EventID-52202]

The festival will not be happening in 2008 due to concerns over the environmental impact on the estate and funding problems. But it will return in 2009, and become a biennial event after that. [http://news.scotsman.com/uk/Outsider-festival-postponed-until-2009.3829741.jp]
