Active Pursuits

In the Footsteps of Macbeth

A large beach draws crowds in summer. Anglers also find the area is a good spot. Nairn is great walking country, and the tourist office will give you a map and details about the various possibilities, including hikes along the banks of the River Nairn. The best walks are the five signposted Cawdor Castle Nature Trails. They're signposted from Cawdor Castle, of Macbeth fame, and they take you along some of the loveliest and most varied forests and wooded areas in the Highlands.
