Things to do on site and in the Evanton area
The site's riverside location makes it a great spot for fishing, Loch Glass is also a 25 minute drive from the site where guests can fish. Do note that permits are required. Or, head to the historic town of Dingwall (10 minutes) rich in Viking history and a great spot for hiking and cycling.
Inverness (30 minutes) is The Highland's largest city, again rich in history with the 19th-century cathedral, an indoor Victorian market and the 18th-century Old High Church. Or, if you're not looking for city life there are plenty of hiking and cycling routes around the lakes and forests that surround Inverness.
Of course, no Scottish adventure is complete without a visit to Loch Ness (50 minutes), keep an eye out for Nessie on a boat trip around the 23 mile lake, spot the ruins of Urquhart Castle and the Falls of Foyers can be reached by a 20 minute walk from the loch.
