Activities and Location

Some of the best salmon and trout fishing in the whole of Scotland is to be had on the River Beauly, not a mile from Ardgowan Lodge. Follow the river to its source in Glen Affric, one of Scotlands most scenic glens, with glittering lochs, majestic mountains and the oldest Caledonian Pine forest in Scotland.

Not for the faint hearted, Glen Affric and Glen Strathfarrer boast no less than eighteen Munros. Big hills in a particularly beautiful corner of the Scottish Highlands.

Loch Ness with its fathomless unresolved mysteries, and Castle Urquhart ( the only place where Nessie is ever seen) are only ten miles away.

The whole area is a haven for wildlife. Deer, Red Squirrels, Golden Eagles, Red Kite, Osprey and Buzzards are frequently seen, whilst the really lucky guest may get a daytime sighting of Pine Marten in the garden.

The keen golfer will find championship courses at Nairn and Royal Dornoch, with numerous other courses in the immediate area.

To reach us from the South.

Bypass Inverness on A9 to Tore roundabout (this will avoid driving through the City of Inverness), then follow signs to Beauly. Through Beauly on A862. After 2 miles, turn right at junction of A833 to Kiltarlity and Drumnadrochit. In half a mile turn left to Ardgowan Lodge.
