LOCATIONGarmouth is a picturesque village located on the northeastern coast of Moray, Scotland, where the River Spey meets the Moray Firth. Known for its natural beauty, rich history, and peaceful setting, Garmouth offers a charming blend of coastal and countryside living. The village is surrounded by scenic landscapes, with rolling farmland, woodland walks, and access to the famous Speyside Way walking and cycling route.
Despite its tranquil rural setting, Garmouth is exceptionally well-connected. It is located just 9 miles from Elgin, the region’s main commercial hub, offering a wide range of shops, schools, healthcare services, and leisure facilities. From Elgin, the A96 trunk road provides direct access to Inverness, the Highland capital, around 45 miles to the west, and Aberdeen, the Granite City, approximately 65 miles to the east. Both cities offer major transport links, including airports, rail connections, and extensive business services, making Garmouth a viable option for commuters and entrepreneurs alike.
The village itself boasts a strong community spirit, a historic golf course, and proximity to sandy beaches and wildlife-rich estuaries, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. With its unique setting along the Moray Firth coast and its close ties to the Speyside whisky region, Garmouth is ideally situated for tourism-related businesses, lifestyle ventures, or simply a peaceful place to call home.
