Ideal as a holiday attraction, it's renowned for its picturesque villages and historic streets, heritage museums, great pubs and restaurants, and, of course, its beautiful, unspoilt beaches. Nearby Chanonry Point in Fortrose is one of the best places in the Europe to watch the amazing bottlenose dolphins! Indeed, the Black Isle is a haven for wild life: deer, buzzards, pine marten and many different birds including oyster catchers and red kites.
