The ferry pier at Chanonry Point dates back to the mid 1700s, when the Ferrymans' House was also built, initially as an Inn providing shelter and sustenance for those waiting for or recovering from the crossing. The crossing between the spit, occupied since 1748 by Fort George and Chanonry Point, is the shortest crossing of the Moray Firth east of Inverness. There has been a Ferryman living there for many centuries: A passenger ferry continued to operate here as late as 1953

The Chanonry Lighthouse, first lit in 1846, was designed by Alan Stevenson and comes with the Egyptian styled keepers cottages the Stevenson's preferred for a while

Set on the shores of the Moray Firth, the Black Isle offers an exceptional blend of coastal beauty, rich heritage, and outdoor living-despite its name, a fertile and picturesque peninsula rather than an island. Renowned for its mild climate, rolling countryside, and sweeping sea views, this highly desirable Highland enclave combines rural tranquillity with easy access to Inverness

At its heart lies the charming cathedral town of Fortrose, a historic and characterful settlement defined by elegant architecture and the striking red sandstone remains of Fortrose Cathedral. Once a medieval religious centre, Fortrose today enjoys a relaxed coastal lifestyle with a sheltered harbour, independent shops, and scenic walks leading directly to the shoreline

Moments away, Chanonry Point forms one of Scotland’s most iconic coastal settings. Extending into the Moray Firth, this narrow spit of land is famed as one of the UK’s best onshore locations to witness wild bottlenose dolphins, often seen playing just metres from the beach. The historic Chanonry Point Lighthouse adds a timeless maritime charm to this dramatic stretch of coastline

The area’s heritage is further enriched by the legacy of the old ferry routes that once connected the Black Isle to surrounding communities, reflecting a long-standing seafaring tradition. While now replaced by modern links, this sense of historic connectivity remains woven into daily life, echoed in the quiet harbours and sailing activity along the shoreline

For golf enthusiasts, the renowned Fortrose and Rosemarkie Golf Club is a standout feature. Situated on a narrow peninsula and almost entirely encircled by the sea, this historic links-dating back to 1793-offers a truly unique playing experience. With breathtaking panoramic views from every hole, frequent dolphin sightings offshore, and a classic links layout, it is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most scenic and characterful courses

Together, Fortrose, Chanonry Point, and the wider Black Isle present a rare opportunity to enjoy an idyllic Highland lifestyle-where history, nature, and world-class leisure converge against a backdrop of ever-changing coastal light
