LOCATIONThe delightful town of Strathpeffer is located 4 miles (6 km) west of Dingwall in the strath of River Peffer in the beautiful rural setting of Easter Ross-shire. In the Victorian era, Strathpeffer became popular as a spa resort, owing to the discovery of sulphurous springs in the 18th century. The pump-room in the middle of the village dates from 1819. Soon after that, a hospital and a hotel were also built. In 1942 the Spa hospital was destroyed by fire. The Strathpeffer Pavilion dates from 1880, and was built to provide a venue for entertainment of the visitors. It was commissioned by the Countess of Cromartie and is based on the casino at Baden Baden, which in turn was based on the Festspielhaus at Bayreuth. It fell into disuse and disrepair towards the end of the last century, but has now been restored as a new venue for the arts, weddings, and events of all kinds
