The Name Game

Through community consultation, a key area identified as priority for us was the need to increase footfall and tourism in our district. After much research, development and discussion with our Tourism Steering Group (including representatives from all villages of the District) we have decided on the key themes that make our area unique and are working with internationally prize-winning design and marketing company Zero to bring this to life! Read on...

Key themes identified: PILGRIMAGE - SANCTUARY - COAST

PILGRIMAGE - Since medieval times, Pilgrims and Kings made their way north to our area. Today you can journey round the district and see Pictish Stones, Churches, Maitland Architecture, enjoy local food and drink and meet our local people.

SANCTUARY - Both Portmahomack and the area around Tain have been places of sanctuary from the 11th century, today you can find comfort in arts, cultural experience and our amazing scenery.

COAST - Our peninsula covers three firths and offers award winning beaches. Get touch with nature by exploring our land and sea.

Look out for our poll coming very soon on Facebook and in your community so you can have your say on our final name and strapline we will use to market the area.
