A quirky mix of craft shops set in a beautiful location. Some can be expensive but great quality goods. Lovely fresh meat and excellent choice of plants. Lovely walks.

What an amazing piece of history. Looks even more magnificent housed inside the glass protection. Enjoyed spending time looking at this stone with my children. Very interesting and worth a visit.

Learn about Dr. Falconer after whom the museum is named, a remarkable man. Friend of Darwin and almost the founder of modern palaeontology and geology, naturalist and maker of the tea industry in India. A video in upper room gives a very clear picture of his life and worth. The remainder of the museum is well set out and informative on life and conditions from prehistory to almost the present day covering many aspects of life and local history of around Forres. I hope the museum can be saved for future generations. The lady receptionist was most helpful.

Because the forest is planted on sand dunes, there is no mud! A huge choice of level tracks for walking or cycling. Interesting flora (didn't see any fauna but am sure they were there - lying low)
