Location

Just a short distance from Inverness airport and only 1 mile form the A9 - Cam-mont House is easy to reach and makes a perfect base to discover the Black Isle and the rest of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. From awe-inspiring mountains, to beautiful lochs, dolphin, seal and bird watching, impressive castles and welcoming distilleries there is plenty to do and we hope the selection below will inspire you to visit the Scottish Highlands and enjoy the hospitality of Cam-mont House. The Black Isle was so named because it did not snow here very often when it was named. The Black Isle still has its own eco system thus it is often better weather here than in nearby places. Dingwall was the capital of the Highlands in Viking times making it very historical and there is a museum with a weath of information.
