Situation

Craskie is located amidst beautiful countryside, a most attractive yet accessible glen within easy reach of Inverness. There are a host of outdoor pursuits available within the landholding and also locally including stalking, fishing, horse riding, hill walking and mountain biking. The region of Inverness-shire is famous for its association with Loch Ness and is an excellent point from which to explore the Highlands. The surrounding countryside is well worth exploring with its unspoilt hillsides providing a haven for plants and wildlife and excellent rural sporting opportunities. Local services (including a convenience store) are available in the village of Cannich. Beauly provides a wider range of facilities including popular delicatessen and café, a highly regarded local butcher and iconic tweed and knitwear manufacturer and retailer. A more extensive range can be found in Inverness, the commercial centre and ‘Capital’ of the Highlands. Inverness Airport is 37 miles east of Craskie and provides daily flights to London and a range of domestic an international destinations. There is a railway station in Beauly with frequent services to Inverness where there are regular services to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and a sleeper service to London. Golf is a feature of the area with courses locally at Aigas (9 holes), Muir of Ord and Strathpeffer (both 18 holes) together with the highly acclaimed Championship courses at Castle Stuart (near Inverness).
