Fortrose Golf Club

This James Braid designed links has been acclaimed by golf writers as a gem of a course and perhaps the brightest jewel in the Highlands golfing crown. Small deceptive greens and strategically placed bunkers, as well as sea alongside eight holes and gorse waiting to devour the wayward shot inland, all add up to a greater golfing experience than many a longer course. This private club, established in 1888, gives a warm welcome to visitors in the knowledge that they will almost certainly wish to come back. www.fortrosegolfclub.co.uk

Black Isle Brewery

Rediscovers the brewing tradition. Some remnants of brewing were discovered during renovations of Old Allangrange. This fine 18th century house lies in one of the first areas to be cultivated on the Black Isle, and many of the place names in the area are derived from the Gaelic language, thus Allangrange, or Allann-Chrain, translates as 'a fertile field of corn'. www.blackislebrewery.com

Munlochy

Is a small village on the B9161, to the west of Avoch. It sits at the head of a deep bay, at the mouth of which is Ormond Hill to the east, and Craigiehowe to the west. Both of these are rounded hills with dense woodland, though Craigiehowe has a more rugged coastline where there are several interesting caves. At the head of the bay, the ruins of an ancient tide-mill can be seen. Munlochy Bay is perhaps most well-known for birdwatching with its extensive sand and mud flats, and its areas of salt flats, it is a haven for a huge variety of wading birds, ducks and migratory birds. It has been identified as a site of special scientific interest, and its importance is marked by the presence of an R.S.P.B. office in the village.
