Some of my very favourite things.
Explore the ‘Dolphin coast’ from The Sail Loft.
Some of my favourite things in the world are quoted by the website of The Sail Loft (on the Moray Firth Coast): “rugged natural beauty, an abundance of wildlife, historic castles, whisky trails”. The Sail Loft itself is a long, long building right on the coast. It has been beautifully renovated and modernised from what was, by all accounts, a wreck. The sleeping, catering and social accommodation is what my son would admiringly call, “A bit fancy-dancy!”
This bit of coast is sometimes known as Scotland’s Dolphin Coast, which gives a bit of a pointer for the wildlife. I also counted ten distilleries close by, not to mention all the amazing scenery to explore. I think it sounds like a great place and The Sail Loft is an ideal base to head out from and to look forward to returning to.
