Tain

Travel Guide

Platform 1864, Tain in Scotland.

A typical town in the Highlands, Tain is a great place to wander around taking in the atmosphere.

We visited the museum which has many examples of Tain silverware and a great insight into local history.

Here's a shot of Platform 1864, a cafe at the railway station. We spent time here relaxing over lunch. There's a very good menu and the owner has made a great job in the styling of the interior.

What a wonder place!!
This is a wonderful rental and location. The east coast of Scotland is very nice, and there are no midges in June!! The cottage is located in a wonderful location with a short walk to a small waterfall. The cottage is very comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed.

Great golf location and a bit livelier than other neighboring towns, though all nearby towns are safe and charming.
