Property Overview

Burnbrae is a cosy, traditional stone cottage situated in the quiet village of Milton, near Drumnadrochit, just two miles from Loch Ness. Only 20 minutes drive from Inverness railway station and 45 minutes from the airport, Burnbrae is an excellent centre for day trips around the Highlands but is also a great place to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of a Highland glen.

There are many interesting walks in the local area, including one right to the shores of Loch Ness and the cottage is only one mile from the Great Glen way. You could walk sections of it during the day before returning to the warmth and comfort of your own little Highland retreat to relax with a wee dram to mull over the day's adventures.

At any time of the year Burnbrae is ideally situated for day trips to the West Coast and the Isle of Skye, or to John O'Groats and the Castle of Mey in the north. Travel to the top of Cairngorm on the mountain railway, see the steam train crossing the viaduct at Glen...finnan (as seen in the Harry Potter movie), watch the dolphins in the Moray Firth, visit castles , gardens, distilleries and battlefields - you won't have time to get bored! In winter the ski slopes of Cairngorm or Aonoch Mor are only an hour's drive away - or if you prefer hill walking and climbing - the Affric hills are only 15 miles to the west.

The area is rich in history with museums and visitor centres telling the sories of times past - Culloden battlefield, Fort George, Urquhart Castle, Cawdor, the Clansman Centre in Fort Augustus and too many more to mention. Those of you researching your family's Highland connections will find much of interest in the local area with lots of resources (including a fantastic new Archive Centre in Inverness) to help you in your search.

Visit at New Year and you will be able to join in the festivities at the annual Hogmanay street party in Drumnadrochit. Follow the piper to the venue, have a dram from the silver quaich and join in with the traditional Highland dancing - no expertise needed - there will be plenty of willing teachers.
