Property in Nairn

Nairn (population 8,551) is the chief town in Nairnshire. Its position to the east of the Highland mountain range provides it with a dry climate, and the earth is flat and fertile. This has long made it a significant population centre in northern Scotland. This dates to prehistoric times, and The Clava Cairns are one of the most significant archaeological sites in Europe. Culloden Battlefield marks the last pitched battle on British soil and lies between Nairn and Inverness.
These two Highland population centres are connected by the A96 road from Inverness to Aberdeen. Nairn railway station is a significant point in the Inverness-Aberdeen track and offers journeys in both directions. Inverness Airport is situated about 10 KM south west of Nairn. The town also possesses a harbour and has long been a notable fishing village.

In cultural terms, Nairn has a golf course and also hosts the annual Nairn Book and Arts Festival and the Nairn Jazz Festival. The Forestry Commission owns numerous local woods, including the unique Culbin forest. This provides many opportunities for walking and cycling in peaceful surroundings.
Nairn Academy provides secondary education in the town, whilst there are four primary schools. Other significant resources include the swimming pool and the public library.
