5 Things to do in Ardersier That You Shouldn't Miss

June 20, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Ardersier (Scottish Gaelic: Àird nan Saor) is a small former fishing village in the Scottish Highlands on the Moray Firth near Fort George, between Inverness and Nairn. Its name may be an anglicisation of the Gaelic "Àird nan Saor", or "Headland of the joiners", one local legend being that carpenters working on the construction of ecclesiastical buildings on the other side of the Moray Firth were quartered here.

FIVE STARS! I had an INCREDIBLE experience at Half-A-Moon' one-day course and came away with the most beautiful stained glass piece created by me! Gail is just wonderful. She's not just an incredible artist, but an extraordinary teacher. She keeps her classes small, so she is always right there to give one-on-one when you need her. I was quite timid of the broken glass and heat. She helped me feel comfortable and safe. I'm absolutely going back... Next time with my husband... The time after that with a friend!

The Highlanders' Museum (Queen's Own Highlanders Collection)

The Highlanders Museum (Queen's Own Highlanders Collection) is situated within the the stunning grounds of Fort George, Nr Inverness, overlooking the Moray Firth. In the summer months the local dolphin school can be seen from the ramparts. The Museum covers three floors of Fort George's former Lieutenant Governors' House. The museum has roughly 20,000 artifacts and an estimated 10,000 documents and photographs. The museum is the largest regimental museum in Scotland, outside Edinburgh.

Located inside Fort George, this museum is dedicated to the history of the various Highland Regiments. Before coming here, I didn't realise the Highland Regiments had such a long history, fought for and made so many sacrifices for us in the many wars of our country, I really like the fact that individual regiments got their own display room with history of each including items associated with the regiment and their battle honours. Seeing all those medals on the third floor in the medals room, and all the Victoria Crosses awarded to Highlanders displayed makes me proud to be a Scot.
