Visit castles, distilleries, beaches, country walks, lochs, cycling, Inverness and Aberdeen day trips including Dunnotter Castle, Urqhuart Castle and Loch Ness. There is a leisure centre with pool, ice rink and gym, a bowling ally and cinema in the town 10 minutes away. My parents attend church and take anyone who would like to join them.
