Located on the East Coast of Scotland, Tain (population 3,511)
is Scotland’s oldest Royal Burgh, it benefits from the fertile soil and dry air of the East Coast. Perhaps for this reason, it has long been a noted centre of habitation and St Duthac preached in the region during the Dark Ages.
Modern Tain has advanced public services, including a leisure complex and library and the council provides education at Tain Royal Academy and four primary schools. Tain benefits from a strong community, which organises such events as the Tain Gala and the Tain Highland Gathering. Leisure activities include hiking, cycling, boating and golfing. The A9 provides easy transport to Inverness and Dingwall, whilst Tain Railway Station connects to the Far North Line.
The Tain website has lots more information about the area.
