The A86 road passes through the village and crosses the river on a nearby bridge. It is notable as being the region in Badenoch where the Scottish Gaelic language survived the longest.

Laggan fell within the Lordship of Badenoch held by the Dukes of Gordon for nearly 400 years. The Glentruim estate on the west side of the glen comprised land bought bought by Major Ewen Macpherson from the Gordon Estate Trustees in 1830. The new owner cleared several small farms to create sheep walks. The change from a subsistence to a sheep-based economy in the early 19th century resulted in the population of the parish of Laggan dropping from 1,512 in the 1790s to 1,201 in 1841.Taylor, David (2022), The People Are Not There: The Tranformation of Badenoch 1800 - 1863, John Donald, Edinburgh, pp. 82 & 103, {{isbn|9781910900987}}
