Morayshire highlights in more detail

Historical sites:

Culloden Battlefield

Made especially famous by Bonnie Prince Charlie, who is reputed to have hidden out at Pittensair on Loch na Bo Estate during the 1746 Battle of Culloden.

 

Pictish Fort

Pictish Fort was three time the size of any other enclosed site in Medieval Scotland.

 

Pluscarden Abbey

Pluscarden Abbey is the only medieval British monastery still being used for its original purpose.

 

Cawdor Castle

Cawdor Castle was built as a private fortress by the Thanes of Cawdor, a family made famous by Shakespeare's play MacBeth. It dates from 1370.

For more intimate experiences, Loch na Bo Estate has direct links with:

Gordon Castle

Gordon Castle and walled-garden provided flowers for King Charles III’s coronation. Gordon Castle produces award-winning gin, which features in their gin-tasting experience.

 

Ballindalloch castle

Ballindalloch castle, golf course and distillery, features a more low-key castle and is home to Inveravon Pictish Stones from circa 600-800, which lie next to Inveravon Church on the estate. The Ballidalloch distillery is the only single-estate distillery in Scotland, meaning the whole process, from growing the barley to bottling the whiskey, happens on the estate.

 

Johnston’s of Elgin

Johnston’s of Elgin is the only vertical mill remaining in Scotland. The mill produces the finest cashmere and woollen garments for many luxury, notable brands, as well as a long history of estate tweeds and tartans.

Benriach Distillery 

Benriach Distillery, used to be owned by Seagrams, of which Sir Iain Tennant (grandpa) was a board member. He travelled the world for Seagrams and thus Loch na Bo has some special whisky books in Sir Iain’s library.

Further Distilleries:

GLENFIDDICH

CHIVAS

ABERLOUR

GLENLIVET

The oldest legal distillery, founded in 1824 and has been operating almost continuously since.

Golf courses:

Castle Stuart

The Castle Stuart course is nothing short of spectacular. Located on the ocean, it is a true Scottish links course.

Moray

Moray, which was once a Championship Course, is a Loch na Bo favourite. Located in Lossiemouth, on the ocean and next to a Royal Air Force base, so seeing the planes take off and land is an added bonus.

Nairn

Nairn is a Championship course with ocean views from every hole.

Spey Bay 

Spey Bay, another Scottish links course.

 

And more of varying degree… 

Nearby towns with sights to note:

Aberlour

As well as being known the world over for its whiskey, Aberlour is also home to the the Quaich, the world’s leading whiskey bar, founded over 120 years ago. The Quaich is located upstairs in the Spey Inn, and downstairs you can find our favourite gastropub. Outside, there are breathtaking views to be seen from variety of elevations of Ben Rinnes, a notable Scottish mountain for walkers of all levels. But in our opinion, Aberlour’s greatest contribution may very well be Walker’s shortbread, which hails from the town.

Findhorn

An idyllic and sought after Scottish seaside destination, Findhorn features the cozy Kimberley Inn pub.  Additional cafes and food stalls serve Scottish delicacies, like fried mars bars, in a stone courtyard next to the beach.

Lossiemouth

Lossiemouth features stretches of Scottish beach. Local ice cream and fish and chip shops dot the coastline of this historic seaside town.

Hopeman

Another cobbled seaside village, where you can find the Bothy pub and restaurant next to the sea. In the summertime, Bootleggers is the Bothy’s outdoor location, situated on the cliffs overlooking the ocean— take up a picnic table and enjoy delicious contemporary pub fare.
