Fancy a Highland adventure that's full of wonderful
surprises? Then try a Moray Firth cottage holiday.
Did you know this huge inlet of North Sea is home to a school of
bottlenose dolphins and is one of Europe's best places to watch
them frolicking in the ocean? And if that's not enough, further
out to sea you'll find harbour porpoises, white-beaked dolphins
and migrating whales. Wildlife also abounds on land, with otters,
badgers, deer and all sorts of birds. Don't miss Culbin Forest
and the RSPB nature reserve at Culbin Sands, where miles of
forest-capped dunes roll out to never-ending swathes of golden
sands.
Indeed, the coast of the Moray Firth is awash with unspoilt
beaches (look out for Burghead, Hopeman and Lossiemouth),
punctuated by pretty fishing villages and many sites of historic
interest, from Iron Age remains to intriguing Pictish stones. Nairn
is an attractive seaside resort renowned for sun-drenched days,
while the town of Forres is famous for its floral displays and
associations with Macbeth.
Distinctive trails worth following include the Malt Whisky
Trail, the impressive Castle Trail and the Moray Firth Trail - the
latter part of the North Sea Trail and offering endless walks
off-the-beaten track, with links to the Great Glen Way and Speyside
Way.
The Moray Firth is also a good place to pack your irons and
features a mind-boggling collection of golf courses - Spey Bay,
Elgin, Hopeman and Forres, to name a few.
Add a temperate climate, superb diving and the regional delicacy
of Cullen Skink and your Moray Firth cottage holiday awaits!
