Local Town Description

Nairn is pleased to be able to say that it is one of the driest, sunniest places in Scotland, probably one of the reasons for its popularity as a coastal resort. Excellent beaches, clean, clear coastal waters, meaning that the Moray Firth is home to one of only two dolphin colonies in the country.

Nearby Fort George has close links to the famous Battle of Culloden in 1746, and now claims to be one of Europe's best preserved eighteenth century fortifications.

Being Scotland, you won't be surprised to hear that golf has its own representation with two eighteen hole Championship courses. The Millenium town of Inverness is just sixteen miles away, while Aberdeen and the Cairngorms National Park should be on your day tripping agenda.

This was our second time here and it's simply a fantastic cottage. Based in a quiet location but still near to the town & beach. Stunning views of the Cairngorms National Park. Author: Mrs Ellis, Cannock, Staffordshire - Date of Stay: 03/2011

Wonderful cottage (our 4th visit to the property reflects our love of the place). Off the beaten track with amazing wildlife but close enough to town for all eateries, attractions, beach etc. Great welcome as usual with every amenity. Couldn't wish for a better property!
