Things to do

Beauly Priory was founded around 1230 by monks of the Valliscaulian order

A superb experience; friendly, skilled guides, comfortable saddles and well-schooled pedigree Highland ponies. Varied hill, moor, pine forest and river rides

Possibly built in 1755, this cave is an enhanced natural feature

The magnificently situated Urquhart Castle, on the shore of Loch Ness, has seen some of the most dramatic chapters in our nation's story

Winery that produces fruit wines, ciders from fruits, berries and wild flowers sourced from the area

Award wining pies by this family run business

Melt is a warm welcoming gallery with a wonderful selection of unusual jewellery and art

The stimulating Culloden Visitor Centre, beside the battlefield, features artefacts from both sides of the battle and interactive displays

The only distillery built by the Dewar family and just three miles from the birth place of founder John Dewar.

A challenging course with undulating fairways, plenty of uphill shots and some tricky greens
