Moray
Moray has much to offer yacht crews
due to its situation between the
Cairngorm mountains in the south, and
the beautiful sandy coastline of the
Moray Firth in the north. Moray
benefits from an abundance of long
stretches of unspoiled golden beaches,
(in particuloar Lossiemouth beach)
dotted by picturesque fishing villages
along the coast. There is a large
population of interesting wildlife,
including bottlenose dolphins which are
often viewed by sailors locally.

Moray is a top destination for sea fishing, as well as salmon and trout fishing on the famous rivers Spey and
Findhorn. There are eight 5 star visitor attractions in the area as well as 16 golf courses, including a famous
championship links course at Lossiemouth. There are activities such as horse riding, mountain biking,
walking, field sports, hiking, hill walking, climbing, camping and caravanning, diving, water skiing, surfing and
winter skiing. Moray is the county of Macbeth and is steeped in history, with a wealth of castles, historical
buildings and sites to explore. Moray is whisky country and has the only Malt Whisky Trail in the world; over
half of all the world’s Malt Whisky is produced in Moray’s Speyside.
Moray is also central to areas such as Inverness and Loch Ness in the west and Royal Deeside in the east,
and so is an ideal location for day trips to many other areas in the North East of Scotland or in the Highlands.
