The Black Isle

Neither black in colour nor an isle

Just a short drive from Inverness, this magical peninsula is steeped in history with Pictish stones, medieval stonework and charming 17th Century seaside villages. The Black Isle is also a haven for nature and wildlife; you will often see dolphins frolicking in the water off Chanonry Point, whilst the enchanting Fairy Glen is home to tumbling waterfalls and woodland creatures. Avid adventurers can experience one of the best kept secrets of Scottish mountain biking at Learnie Red Rocks, and foodies will love the delicious natural larder and craft beer the Black Isle is famous for.
