Situation

Mounteagle Estate is situated in the attractive countryside of Easter Ross in what is known locally as the Fearn Peninsula. Easter Ross is renowned as one of the best farming areas in Scotland. It has a reputation for productive, high-quality farmland at low altitude and has a well-developed agricultural infrastructure including a number of grain, potato and agricultural machinery merchants and contractors. There is a busy livestock market at Dingwall. The nearest town to the farm, and Scotland’s oldest Burgh, is Tain, which provides an extensive range of services including supermarkets, shops, banks, cafés, restaurants, hotels and leisure facilities.

The nearby A9 has excellent links to the city of Inverness which provides a range of administrative, retail, recreational, educational and cultural facilities. The farm is well served by transport communication links. Inverness has an airport which offers regular flights to London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Belfast and a range of European destinations. There is a nearby railway station at Fearn which has regular services to Inverness. A sleeper service operates from Inverness railway station to London. There are a number of primary schools in the local area, nearest being Hill of Fearn, whilst the new Tain Royal Academy provides secondary education. Private education is available at Gordonstoun near Elgin.

The surrounding area has plenty of sporting opportunities, which include, for the golfer, the famous championship courses at Royal Dornoch and Castle Stuart. For the fly fisherman, as well as fishing on the nearby Balnagown River, the Rivers Beauly, Oykel, Conon, Alness, Carron and Shin provide exciting salmon fishing, whilst Loch Eye has some of the country’s best wild brown trout fishing. Pheasant and driven grouse shooting can be rented on estates in the surrounding area. The beautiful beaches of Shandwick Bay and the seaboard villages are nearby, while the village of Portmahomack offers boat trips for sea angling and dolphin watching.
