General

All the properties within Elsick House create the backdrop for a luxurious modern lifestyle, perfectly balancing comfort, style and convenience.

Strathpeffer lies approximately 18 miles north of Inverness and 5 miles from the market town of Dingwall. Strathpeffer is most famous as a Victorian spa town and owes its growth to the discovery in the 1700’s of springs, declared in 1819 to be the most healthy in Britain. This led to a steady stream of visitors from around Europe and beyond; a stream that grew dramatically with the coming of the railway built specifically to service the Spa. The original Spa pavilion within the town has been magnificently restored after a period of disuse and now serves as a multi purpose venue for a variety of events, including concerts, dances, dramatic productions, conferences and exhibitions, as well as weddings and other functions. The town itself is very attractive and though the buildings all have a wide variety of styles, all exude a no expense spared solidity that says much about the largely Victorian origins and about the wealth of the town at the time that much of it was built. The town is a popular base for walkers and has number of services including a new primary school and health centre, chemist, grocery story, Spar shop and a specialist Belgian chocolate shop and café. Secondary schooling is available in Dingwall together with a wider selection of services including a major supermarket and railway station.

The capital of the Highlands, Inverness, lies approximately 18 miles to the south and provides all the services commensurate with a major regional centre including a main line railway terminal and Airport with regular flights to the south and charter flights to Europe.
