6 Free Things to do in Nairn That You Shouldn't Miss
Thanks to its unique micro-climate, Nairn gets more hours of sunshine and less rainfall than other towns just a few miles away. Thankfully, this combination of abundant sun and no rain provide the perfect weather conditions for golf, as Nairn boasts two 18-hole championship courses. (And if you have time on your hands, there are 30 more courses within 60 miles.) Don't miss the town's jazz and film festivals, the latter of which was started by Nairn resident and actress Tilda Swinton (you'd know her if you saw her).

Beautiful expanse of beach with the harbour in one direction and a children’s playground in the other, complete with sand dunes to sit and relax with your picnic. We parked near the coop and it was free parking too, as was the harbour. Nairn a lovely place to visit - you can finish your beach visit with a stroll round the town itself.

After you’ve crossed the beautiful bridge there’s a little place to park and a big bit of green grass that has picnic tables to sit at next to some trees I’d the weather is nice enough. There’s a path you can follow that leads you to a perfect location for the ideal photo of the bridge. It’s wonderful and definitely worth the stop if you’re passing!

Amazing shop has a large range of wool types and colours. Shop owner Adam was happy to help with looking at patterns and finding the exact one i wanted. Having started crocheting recently, this shop was perfect to appreciate the range of projects and things that I can do with crochet.

When i lived in inverness as a wee girl , my parents would take us here once a week in summer, many happy memories. sadly living in glasgow means we cannot visit as often as we'd like. Most recent visit was in august of 2018. seems slightly busier than it used to be but certainly still lovely. The kids had a great time swimming. spoke to a few dog walkers in passing, all very friendly. Sadly the negative reviews seem to be left by the type of nasty local that is just overly possessive. such attitudes are probably why nairn was so run down and decrepit the last few times we visited
