It seems only to be an outdoor centre, though, rather than a *village* as
such. The site's "History" page indicates that there was nothing much there
before the centre opened in 1970.

ISTR that somewhere there's a site that gives the highest and lowest
temperatures recorded in the UK for each day of the year, but I
couldn't find it again.


TORRO *nearly* manage it:

Unfortunately, their claim to give figures for "each day of the year" is
incorrect, as the lows for June to September (inclusive) are entirely
missing. I did once email them to ask about that, but got no reply.

Webb and Meaden, both from TORRO, provided UK extreme temperatures for
an article in the September 2000 edition of Weather.
However, although maxima were given for each day of the year, daily
minima were restricted to Oct to May inclusive, with the months of
June through to Sept
each divided into thirds, and the lowest given for these 10 or 11 day
blocks.
Thus for August: 1-10th Lagganlia -2.2 C on 6th 1977.
11-20th Lagganlia -2.1 C on 19th 1974.
21-31st Lagganlia -4.5 C and Grantown on
Spey -4.4 C, both on 21st 1973.
