Findhorn

Findhorn, Lossiemouth and Cullen are the main holiday towns on the Moray stretch of the Moray Firth. In the past this area has been described as the Moray Riviera and was a favoured holiday destination of the Victorians who travelled from all over the United Kingdom. There is something in this as the Moray Firth coast has excellent weather and one of the lowest rainfalls in Scotland and the UK.

As well as good weather, especially in being so far north, each one has a long sandy beach, and Lossie has two. The beaches are popular in summer but it's not difficult to find a secluded spot.

All the towns have a strong fishing tradition - Lossie and Cullen have specific Seatown areas with tiny cottages. Findhorn is also very attractive with an eclectic mix of cottages and houses. If you are looking for a self catering cottage holiday, it's possible to find an old fisherman's self catering cottage for a relaxing week.
