Update to earlier post.

The proposal made by Ardersier and Petty Community Council to officially designate Ardersier Common a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) went before the Highland Council on Thursday and it has been approved.

This designation as a Local Nature Reserve means a newly formed management group consisting of landowners, local environmental NGOs, High Life Highland and other stakeholders will work together to protect and enhance Ardersier Common to facilitate improvements and support the natural ecosystem. The 47 acres that make up Ardersier Common already provides habitat for terns, goldfinches, badgers, roe deer, orchids, and rare butterflies.

Ardersier LNR will be only the second Local Nature Reserve in the Highlands, the other being Merkinch Local Nature Reserve on the Beauly Firth.

Happy days!

This is an important week for Ardersier. On Thursday Councillors will be asked to approve a motion to designate Ardersier Common as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR).

The Common is one of our favourite places, the shore path runs along the shoreline of the Inner Moray Firth from the village to Fort George, it is backed by a very diverse coastal habitat of shrubs, trees, grasses and marshy bits but it has a good path network throughout. The Common is home to terns, curlews, oystercatchers and goldfinches, there's also areas that have also been carefully planted to attract moths and butterflies.

Fingers crossed the Councillors approve the motion, it is a very special place and well worth protecting.

It's been a tad wet today but looking on the bright side we have some fabulous waterfalls in the Highlands, some are gentle like the head of Fairy Glen at Rosemarkie others are spectacular thundering falls with viewing platforms - notably the Falls of Falloch, Corrieshalloch Gorge and the Falls of Foyers, I think my favourite waterfall is the Falls of Foyers as you park at a cafe and walk down past the waterfalls through woodlands with red squirrels to Loch Ness and then climb back up to the cafe for refreshments and cake! It's a fair drop so the cake is easily justified! www.dolphinview.co

Last week I advertised the remaining summer week for this year (6th June) - the result? Three August 2027 weeks were booked! The week commencing Saturday the 6th of June this year is still available for the price of £750. After that week the next availability for 2026 is not until mid October.

Dolphin View Cottage is the perfect base to explore this quieter part of Scotland. There is so much to see and do in the area.
Highlights include - Loch Ness, Whisky distilleries, Culloden, wildlife spotting - dolphins, eagles including White tailed eagles in the area, miles of dog-friendly beaches, woods, castles, the NE250 (far quieter than the NC500) and lovely coastal villages to explore.

The cottage is located in Ardersier, a small coastal village between Inverness and Nairn on the Moray Firth in the fabulous Highlands of Scotland. It sleeps two, has sea views over Ardersier Bay towards Chanonry Point Lighthouse on the Black Isle, enclosed gardens, WiFi, a smart TV, a log-burning stove, and private parking. You can safely walk from the door along the pavement and then onto a well surfaced level coastal path to Ardersier Common and Fort George. Within the village of Ardersier there are shops, a pub with restaurant plus convenience stores, a hairdresser, cafe and a pharmacy.

We welcome up to three dogs free of charge, our gardens are enclosed with a high wooden fence at the back (5’6’ minimum height) and a lower fenced garden at the front (so you can enjoy those sea views from the front windows). All of the beaches in the area are dog-friendly all year round. We also do have a number of special offers available, including the very popular 9 nights for the price of 7 for holidays taken during the months of November through to the end of February, (excluding Christmas and Hogmanay). If you wish to extend your holiday and book two consecutive weeks there’s a £50 discount on the price of the second week.

Note to self - Check tides before deciding to walk on Rosemarkie Beach - especially with an older dog who isn't going to be able to clamber over rocks to get to the higher dry path. Very pretty though. Plan B was Fairy Glen.

It's wild garlic time at Reelig Glen just now. One of our favourite walks very near Beauly, it's not a long walk but it packs a lot in. There's two car parks, one at the bottom where you can take a level(ish) walk on a river circuit up to the folly and back on the opposite side of the river, the river bank is great for wild garlic and lots of lovely lichens - a sign of clean air. The second car park is at the top of the hill and walks from here are in magnificent beech woods, a great place to forage for mushrooms in autumn. Walk Highlands gives details of both walks. https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochness/Reeligglen.shtml

Today marks the anniversary of The Battle of Culloden which took on the 16th April 1746. It was the last pitched battle fought on British soil and was the end of the Jacobite uprising. After the battle Charles Edward Stewart - Bonnie Prince Charlie fled to Skye and eventually France, never to return to Scotland.

The 20' memorial cairn was built in 1881 by order of Duncan Forbes of Culloden to honour the fallen Jacobites. Leanach, the thatched cottage dates from about 1760 and stands on the same location as the turf-walled farmhouse that probably served as a field hospital for government troops following the battle.

Today, the battlefield is maintained by the National Trust for Scotland and has a very impressive visitor centre with lots of displays and an immersive theatre. It also has a roof garden that will give you elevated views of the battlefield.

Culloden Battlefield is only 8 miles from Dolphin View Cottage in Ardersier and makes an interesting day out when combined with Clava Cairns and Culloden viaduct. www.dolphinview.co
