NAIRN SCOTLAND

People lived in and around Nairn long before the 4th century. Within a few miles of the town a number of cairns exist, dating from the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. Many sites have suffered the ravages of time, but Clava Cairns, on the southern side of Culloden Moor, is a well-preserved example and well worth a visit. Nairn is also closely linked to the Battle of Culloden, the last land battle on mainland Britain. A trip to the visitor centre, 12 miles away, will give a fascinating insight into what happened to the Jacobites in 1745. The area's three inhabited castles - Brodie, Cawdor and Kilravock - all fascinating in their individual ways and Brodie and Cawdor can be visited.
