The area is justifiably popular with outdoor enthusiasts: cycling, hill walking, golf, fishing, horse riding, sailing, canoeing and surfing are all enjoyed locally. The nearby town of Tain, just 10 minutes' drive away, has an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, as well as a wide variety of sporting and recreational facilities, including tennis courts, golf club and bowling club, all of which are available to visitors. It is also home to the renowned Highland malt whisky distillery Glenmorangie.
