Nairn

The seaside town of Nairn is about 16 miles east of Inverness and became a very popular holiday destination since the Victorian times with the coming of the railway. It has a beautifully clean long sandy beach leading to sand dunes and the busy marina.

There are two 18-hole Champoinship golf courses in the area and the town hosts two well attended festivals in the summer months - a Books and Arts Festival in June and a Jazz Festival in August. We enjoyed a day out last month, before it got too busy with visitors, and enjoyed a stroll in the sunshine along the empty sandy beach followed by a picnic near the sea front.... a good day trip from Aspenwood whatever the weather.
