Maryburgh sits across the River Conon from Conon Bridge, a little over a mile south of Dingwall. It is a quiet village with a shop, an amenities centre and churches; see the listings below.
Brahan
West of the village lies the Brahan estate, some 4,000 acres overlooking the River Conon. Brahan was the seat of the Mackenzie Earls of Seaforth and is remembered as the home of the Brahan Seer, the 17th-century prophet whose memorial stands at Chanonry Point. The estate offers self-catering cottages, fishing and shooting.
Tollie Red Kites
At Tollie, on the edge of the estate, RSPB Scotland and the Brahan Estate run a red kite feeding station in a converted farm steading, with views across Easter Ross to Ben Wyvis. Volunteers put out food every day, giving close-up views of these graceful birds of prey. Check feeding times before you go.
