About ardersier

Halfway between Nairn and Inverness, Ardersier is a charming village close to the Moray Firth and has wonderful views of the Black Isle. Its interesting streets, filled with traditional houses and newer properties, are a pretty example of a coastal setting but have managed to retain the peacefulness that has characterised it since it was founded in the 17th Century.

Originally a fishing village that also served the nearby military base, Fort George, the village continues to have a strong community with strong local activities. There are also small shops, pubs and places to eat in the village, which is a popular area with the type of gentle tourism that reflects its ambience well.

Recent infrastructure development, including the expansion of nearby Inverness Airport, has further enhanced Ardersier's appeal, increasing its connectivity and making it an attractive prospect for people moving to the Highlands. Many of the population commute to Inverness and Nairn and there is a healthy entrepreneurial spirit in the area.
