Holidays in Moray Firth
The area and getting around
This holiday destination is ideal for those who prefer to travel to the mountains, the countryside and the coast. The Firth of Moray has a wide variety of attractions, most notably the wilderness that characterizes this part of Scotland. And although a large part of its economic income comes from tourism, it is also a fishing area and has an important oil field. And as for its coastal area, something fundamental to note is that its seas are home to exceptional marine species such as whales and dolphins, which are protected by the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society. All this is what constitutes this wonderful region, which captivates its inhabitants once they explore the depths of its green zones, its hills, mountains, rivers and oceans, all with that virgin and idyllic vibe.
An easy area to exploreTo get to Moray Fjord you can take the easiest and best known route. You'll first need to get to the Highland capital of Inverness by plane if you want a quicker journey, but you can also travel by train or bus. Once in Inverness, you will only have two options, the train or the bus, but don't worry, it will only be a short journey of about an hour and a half. If you are following a schedule on your holiday, make sure you check the departure times so that you arrive in Moray Fjord on time. Now, once you've arrived, you'll find basic public transport such as buses and taxis in this community, but you can always hire a car or hire a tour service to take you to and from your attractions of interest.
Travellers and activities
In the Moray Fjord you will , of course, find many beautiful beaches. Although not all of them are ideal for swimming due to their temperature and sometimes turbulent water , they are still a tourist attraction worth visiting. One of the most popular in this region is Findhorn Beach, which has pebbly sands and high tides, but there are two things that characterize this place beyond its general appearance. Firstly, it's an ideal spot for seal watching, when the tide is low and these creatures decide to pay a visit on a sandbank where the Findhorn River flows into the sea. Secondly, you'll find a few reminders of the Second World War in the surrounding area, such as concrete traps, part of war tanks, the occasional fort and large seaweed-covered bunkers.
Moray Firth for culture loverNow for a change of scene, there are some very interesting historical and cultural places to visit. One of the most important is Elgin Cathedral, also known as the Lantern of the North in its early years, a series of ruined buildings. Its construction began in the 1200s, in a striking Gothic style, with numerous carved details on its façade, as well as beautifully coloured stained-glass windows. However, the story of why it is in such condition is that in 1390 the brother of the then King of Scotland, Robert III, set fire to the cathedral. But still, it is worth a visit to this fantastic place, as despite its many renovations over the years, you can still see the essence of what it once was.
The name ''Moray'', like many parts of Scotland, comes from Gaelic, specifically from the word ''moireibh'' meaning sea settlement.
Top 5 travel tips in Moray Firth
If you're someone who enjoys keeping active on holiday, you'll love this walking route. The Moray Coast Trail is an impressive 50 miles long as it passes through numerous places along the coastline, but that doesn't mean you have to do it all in one day. It's divided into sections, starting at Forres-Findhorn and finishing at Cullen Bay respectively, and although it's of a somewhat advanced level of difficulty you can always do it at your own pace. You will enjoy the fantastic scenery of the Moray Fjord, great cliffs, lush vegetation, and songbirds that will brighten your way.

Finally, the association's staff will give you all the information you need on how to help conserve these beautiful animals for generations to come.
3. Enjoy a delicious drink at The Glenlivet DistilleryIf there's one thing Scotland is known for, it's making the world's finest whiskey.

And as they say the rest is history, this fabulous company has grown over the years, and due to its great popularity, there is a great demand for its tasting tours. Spend an afternoon visiting the cellars and the machinery used to create the most delicious quality whiskey, and take a bottle home with you as a souvenir.
