Lydia Cottage - Cromarty

Cromarty is a town, civil parish and former royal burgh in Ross and Cromarty, in the Highland area of Scotland. Situated at the tip of the Black Isle on the southern shore of the mouth of Cromarty Firth, it is 5 miles (8 km) seaward from Invergordon on the opposite coast. In the 2022 census, it had a population of 672.

As you explore the narrow streets and old buildings, you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time. Cromarty is a well-preserved example of a Scottish burgh, with many of its houses and buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the town's most famous landmarks is the Cromarty Courthouse Museum, which was built in 1773 and is now a fascinating museum showcasing the town's history.

But Cromarty isn't just a place to learn about the past - it's also a great place to enjoy the outdoors. The town is situated on the coast, and you can take a stroll along the beach or go on a boat tour to see the local wildlife, including dolphins and seals.
