Tain

Tain is an attractive and pleasant small town in Ross, about 50 miles north of Inverness.

Tain is situated on the south shore of Dornoch Firth, beside the main A9 road north from Inverness. It is the main settlement on the Tain peninsula, which juts out into the North Sea between the Cromarty and Dornoch Firths.

Tain was the birthplace of St Duthus, an 11th-century missionary who worked miracles and inspired great devotion in the Middle Ages. Explore the areas past at the Tain Through Time exhibition. The town's other main attraction is the whisky distillery where the Glenmorangie malt is produced.
