SITUATION The plots at Drumore of Cantray are set in a beautiful rural location in the heart of the rolling Nairnshire countryside in the Scottish Highlands. The plots and surrounding area provide a picturesque setting for the proposed new houses with the area typified by rolling farmland, woodland and scattered small villages and houses. Nairnshire is a historical small county lying between Inverness and Moray, benefiting from a mild climate and with a varied and beautiful countryside, from its coastline with wide sandy beaches to rugged inland hills and moorland. The county is popular for its salmon fishing, shooting and golf, with two championship courses in Nairn as well as Caboc (formerly known as Castle Stuart) which has hosted the Scottish Open. In addition, excellent sailing can be enjoyed from both Nairn and Findhorn. Inverness, about a 25 minute drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and Europe. Primary schooling is available at Cawdor and secondary schooling at Nairn Academy, while Gordonstoun Independent School is some 32 miles away at Duffus.
