LOCATION
The delightful town of Strathpeffer is located 4 miles (6 km) west of Dingwall in the strath of River Peffer in the beautiful rural setting of Easter Ross-shire. In the Victorian era, Strathpeffer became popular as a spa resort, owing to the discovery of sulphurous springs in the 18th century. The pump-room in the middle of the village dates from 1819. Soon after that, a hospital and a hotel were also built. In 1942 the Spa hospital was destroyed by fire. The Strathpeffer Pavilion dates from 1880, and was built to provide a venue for entertainment of the visitors. It was commissioned by the Countess of Cromartie and is based on the casino at Baden Baden, which in turn was based on the Festspielhaus at Bayreuth. It fell into disuse and disrepair towards the end of the last century, but has now been restored as a new venue for the arts, weddings, and events of all kinds
Strathpeffer has a population of circa 1,000 and enjoys the benefit of a much higher population within the local area. The wider area benefits from thriving agricultural, engineering, tourism and port related businesses. Due to its location Strathpeffer acts as a dormitory town to Inverness and other larger villages in the surrounding area. This attractive town has a long and established history and the wider area has a great many attractions such as castles, distilleries and golf courses. However, many visitors just come to enjoy the beautiful countryside and hill walking. For those interested in field sports and fishing rural Ross-shire offers unparalleled experiences with some outstanding salmon and trout fishing. The Cromarty Firth and Moray Firth are popular venues for adventurous water sports with the many fresh water lochs in the region providing an outlet for a wide range of activities. The Moray Firth also attracts visitors because of the presence of dolphins and minke whales. Strathpeffer is approximately 18 miles from Inverness, a vibrant centre of tourism and commerce with excellent communication links.
