Nairn scotland

The fine sandy beaches at Nairn made the town a popular resort since Victorian times. Even before then people came from the surrounding hills to bathe here, the sea-water at Lammas tides being said to have magical properties. In more recent times the sands have become rivalled by the golf courses as the major attraction, but for walkers there are bracing outings along the coast, in Culbin Forest or perhaps a riverside ramble inland to Cawdor.

From Fort George to Cawdor Castle, Nairn is the perfect Highland getaway. Read our complete guide to the top 13 things to do in Nairn, Scotland, right here.

The Moray coastline has long attracted holidaymakers. With superb sandy beaches that stretch for miles the attraction is obvious, and the coastline makes for some superb walking. Inland are attractive country towns such as Forres and Keith, whilst Dufftown nestles in the hills as the heart of the whisky industry.
