Introduction

From the cliffs at John O’Groats on the north east tip of mainland Scotland around the Moray Firth to the picturesque sea-town of Cullen in Moray is about 180 miles / 272km by road – but an astonishing 470 miles / 750km round every bay and inlet.

The varied coastal landscape includes long stretches of unspoilt and open sandy shore as well as dramatic cliffs and headlands.

With mountains and moors as a backdrop, the spectacular scenery and wildlife is of international importance.

Our fascinating coastal heritage, including Pictish and Viking remains, offers plenty of historical themes to explore.

The towns and villages around the firth each have their own unique character– from tiny fishing settlements clustered gable-end to the sea, to the city of Inverness, the Highland capital.
