This small town
- colloquially
known as
Foggieloan, or
‘mossy track’ -
lies close to
the Moray Firth
coastal route
and started life
as an estate
village founded
by Alexander
Gordon in 1746.
Nearby is the
Bridge of
Marnoch as well
as prehistoric
standing stones
dating to 1800
BC. Of great
interest is
16th-century
Crombie Castle –
stronghold of
the ancient
Innes Clan - and
its neighbour,
Kinnairdy
Castle. The
latter has a
14th century
stone tower and
16th century
palace.
