This is a gentler side of the Highlands, a landscape of rich farmland and tumbling rivers. And the ideal way to explore this beautiful area is with a break in one of our holiday cottages in Nairnshire and Morayshire.

The picturesque coastline here is one of the major attractions and there are many sandy beaches to enjoy, as well as resorts like Nairn, Lossiemouth and Fraserburgh. The small coastal town of Pennan is famous for being the location for the much-loved film “Local Hero”. Make sure you also include a visit to nearby Culloden, scene of Britain’s last land battle, during your stay in one of our holiday cottages in Nairnshire and Morayshire.

Cawdor Castle is one of the most romantic stately homes in the Highlands and features three marvellous gardens. The town of Elgin, with its medieval streets, cobbled market place and ruins of what was once a great cathedral is also well worth seeing. And then there are the glories of Speyside, the beautiful valley of the River Spey, famous for producing some of the finest Scotch whisky.
