About Invergordon

Invergordon is a small town of around 4,000 people on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, one of the finest deep-water anchorages in Britain.

The town has a long naval and industrial history. It served as a Royal Navy base in both World Wars and was the site of the 1931 Invergordon Mutiny. In the 1970s, the firth became a centre for North Sea oil platform fabrication.

Today Invergordon is one of Scotland's busiest cruise ship ports, with large liners calling regularly between April and October. The town's painted murals, railway station and High Street services cater to both residents and visitors.

Invergordon is on the Far North Line and the A9, with Inverness Airport about 30 miles to the south. The town offers affordable housing and a quiet pace of life within easy reach of Easter Ross's other towns.

About Highland

(opens in new tab)

Highland is the largest council area in Scotland by land mass, covering more than 25,000 square kilometres from the Cairngorms in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west and from the Moray Firth northward to the tip of mainland Britain at Dunnet Head.

The region takes in an extraordinary range of landscapes — the Great Glen, Ben Nevis, Loch Ness, the Cairngorm plateau, the Flow Country peatlands of Caithness and Sutherland and hundreds of miles of rugged coastline dotted with fishing villages and sea lochs.

Inverness is the regional capital and the largest settlement, serving as the administrative, commercial and transport hub for the entire north of Scotland. Beyond Inverness, the population is thinly spread across market towns, crofting townships and remote communities connected by single-track roads and ferry services.

Despite its remoteness, Highland has a diverse economy built on tourism, whisky distilling, renewable energy, forestry, aquaculture and a growing digital sector enabled by improving broadband connectivity. The region's cultural identity is deeply rooted in Gaelic language and tradition, clan history and a strong sense of place that draws visitors and new residents alike.
