Silverwells Dingwall, Ross-shire

Silverwells is a comfortable cottage, with stunning views of Ben Wyvis, situated on a 42 acre working croft on the Black Isle. Set in a tranquil area of Ross-shire, 10 miles north of Inverness, it is the ideal location to escape to the Scottish countryside. This is an excellent base for visiting all parts of the Highlands and there are plenty of activities in the area - walking, fishing, golfing, pony trekking, sight seeing, bird watching, (red kites are often seen flying close to the cottage), and visits to distilleries.

Also within easy driving distance is Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle, historic Cromarty, the Black Isle Brewery for fans of real ale, and Strathpeffer Spa. For the children there is the Black Isle Wildlife Park and dolphin watching at North Kessock and Fortrose with boat trips from Cromarty, Avoch and Inverness. Dingwall is just 5 minutes away, has a good selection of local shops as well as a 24 hour store and a farmers market is held in the town on the second Saturday of each month. Inverness, the capital and gateway to the Highlands, is an excellent shopping centre with many fine restaurants to suit all tastes. It also has great facilities for all the family with the Aquadome, icerink, Vue cinema, Eden Court theatre, Inverness Castle and Museum, Fairways Driving Range and Rollerbowl - loads of choice if you have any wet days during your holiday!

2007 is a year dedicated to the celebration of Highland culture. The Highland 2007 programme offers a taste of the region's culture with events encompassing arts, heritage and sport throughout the year and there are opportunities for everyone to join in.
