Tradespeople in Tornagrain, Highland

About Tornagrain

Tornagrain is a new planned town in the Highland council area, located near Inverness Airport at Dalcross, roughly midway between Inverness and Nairn.

Designed as a traditional Scottish town with a mix of housing styles, Tornagrain is one of the most ambitious new developments in the Highlands, planned to grow into a community of several thousand homes over the coming decades.

The housing stock is entirely modern, built to high energy standards, and the growing population creates steady demand for tradespeople across all disciplines - from landscaping and fencing to decorating and general maintenance.

The town benefits from its proximity to the A96 and Inverness Airport, with Inverness city centre around 15 minutes by road.

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 spread across market towns and remote communities - Fort William beneath Ben Nevis, Aviemore in the Cairngorms, Thurso and Wick on the north coast, Nairn on the Moray Firth, Dingwall in Easter Ross and dozens of smaller settlements 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.

Transport links converge on Inverness, with the A9 running south to Perth, the A96 east to Aberdeen, rail services to Edinburgh, Glasgow and London and an airport at Dalcross. The more remote communities depend on trunk roads, the scenic rail lines to Kyle of Lochalsh, Wick and Thurso and the ferry services that connect the west coast to the islands.
