Discover Moray
The Perfect Place to Call Home
Spanning the area from the peaks of the Cairngorms to the Moray Firth, Moray is an area of outstanding beauty, with its own unique identity stretching back thousands of years.
Moray neighbours Aberdeenshire and Highland – with the cities of Inverness and Aberdeen in striking distance.
This area is one of the UK’s best kept secrets and offers the very best of Scotland – an alternative (we say better!) way of life to the country’s major cities.
The climate is milder, drier and sunnier than its northern latitude might suggest, with average sunshine and rainfall similar to the south of England.
Moray’s coastline with its golden, sandy beaches and resident population of bottlenose dolphins is recognised by National Geographic as one of the world’s most beautiful.

Exceptional natural beauty:
Famed as the home of Macbeth, malt whisky, and, with protection from the Grampian Mountains & temperatures boosted by the Gulf Stream, it’s not for nothing that Moray is known as Scotland’s sunshine coast.
