Situation

Situated on the south shore of the Dornoch Firth and predominantly constructed of mellow local sandstone, Tain is the oldest Royal Burgh of Scotland and has a wide selection of local amenities and facilities including independent shopping, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, public houses and an hotel together with churches, banks, a medical centre, garage and Post Office. The property, set within a conservation area, is ideally located for exploring the northern Highlands region: Tain benefits from a Tom Morris-designed links golf course and nearby sites of interest including the Whisky Distillery Centre, home to Glenmorangie single malt, and the famous Falls of Shin where salmon leaping close to hand can often be seen. More extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands.

The property sits in the catchment area for Knockbreck Primary and Tain Royal Academy.

Communications links are excellent: the nearby A9 links to the Northern Highlands and south to Inverness. Tain railway station provides regular services to Inverness with onward links to major regional centres, and Inverness Airport is only 41 miles away.
