The
Highlands of Scotland are steeped
in history, from haunted castles to the
legend that is our very own "Nessie".
We are particularly
well situated to see many rare birds and animals. There
are Red Kite, Buzzards and Opspreys, large flocks of Geese
and other waders. We have our own resident Red Squirrels,
and if visiting Loch Ness to see our very own "Nessie",
why not aim to catch sight of the Moray Firth Dolphins,
and maybe Seals and even Otters at nearby North Kessock.
Inverness City is five minutes drive south from the Cottages,
making it ideal to find Good Pubs & Clubs with entertainment;
cosy riverside cafes; and a good choice of restaurants.
June sees the start of the summertime Galas and Highland
Games; Pipebands etc. The biggest Show is "The Black
Isle Show" always the first Thursday in August, with
something for everyone to see and do, a great day out for
kids and adults alike.
Indoor attractions
include a seven Screen Cinema Complex; Swimming & Gym
at the Aquadome Leisure Complex; Ice Skating; Ten Pin Bowling,
Eden Court Theatre. There are Woollen & Tartan Mills,
and many local shops to see.
Maybe buy a local Haggis? |

At Culbin Crofthouse
we are central to the Highlands, so most
places are accessible
|
|
|
Car tours of The Highlands
are very rewarding. With quiet roads, there is much to discover.
30 minutes away are the impressive fortifications at Fort
George, whilst a similar trip south across the Kessock Bridge
will bring you to the Culloden Battlefield with all its Clan
history from the 1745 uprising. Just a field or two away from
Culloden at Clava is a huge complex of vast Stone Age Cairns.
Further south at Carrbridge is the Landmark Centre. The kids
will love that. The Strathspey Steam Railway from Boat of
Garten to Aviemore is a great treat for all, and at Kingussie
and Newtonmore there are the twin Highland Folk Museums. There
are Castle trails and the Malt Whisky trail is a must for
lovers of the "Amber Nectar" Take a trip to Loch
Ness, and maybe cruise to Urquhart Castle. See the Lock Ladder
at Fort Augustus, and in winter, visit the Funicular Railway
and Ski Slopes at Aviemore, or Nevis Range and it's Gondola.
Rewarding trips are to the beautiful Strathconnan Glens, or
Strathfarrar, west of Beauly. Maybe trace your ancestors,
or take a cruise on the Moray Firth to spot dolphins, or enjoy
a guided mystery tour of Inverness. The whole area affords
spectacular opportunities for Walkers & Hillwalkers, the
only way to truly appreciate our fantastic scenery.
The walks around the Ness Islands in Inverness are very attractive. |
