Visit Beauly
'C'est un beau lieu', from the french "what a beautiful place", was Mary Queen of Scots reaction to the grandeur of the scene when she stayed in Beauly in the 16th century, and local tradition credits the naming of the village to her.It is a beautiful place and great for a day out or longer break with a range of excellent and varied shops, eating places, hotels and guest houses, and an easy 20 minute drive from Inverness.The village has a well-deserved reputation for its top-class floral displays. During the summer the window boxes, hanging baskets and flower beds are a wonderful sight and clearly show why Beauly was a worthy winner of the Large Village in Bloom competition for the whole of the UK.The Lovat Memorial Garden, dedicated to Simon Fraser, the World War II hero, which is next to the Royal Bank of Scotland building.

Blazin in Beauly
Held annually in October,
Blazin’ in Beauly was started by the band Blazin’ Fiddles in the historic village of Beauly, 15 miles west of Inverness. With the aim of being “much more than a fiddle school” the intention of the week in Beauly is to immerse people in the music of the Highlands and Islands. You get the chance to work with world class performers; but the instruction is only a part of the week - the sessions, the talks, the concerts and the craic all add up to make Blazin’ in Beauly THE fiddle event in the UK.

Beauly Angling Club
The Club was founded around 1940 by the late Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, a most distinguished commando war-time hero who was also a member of the Lovat Scouts. The Club was then called the Kilmorack Ex-Servicemen's Angling Association Committee and was open to residents of the Old Aird District. It fished much the same water as we do now in addition to a stretch of the Beauly between Aigas and Kilmorack, but was restricted to fishing on a Thursday and Saturday only.
