Tornagrain


Tornagrain is a hamlet and planned community in the Scottish Highlands, situated around northeast of Inverness. It falls within the Highland council area for local government purposes. Tornagrain lies south of Inverness Airport; and 1.5 miles east of Castle Stuart Golf Course which was developed in 2009 and hosted the Barclays Scottish Open Championship for the first time in 2011.
Plans to expand Tornagrain into a community for more than 10,000 residents were submitted to planning authorities by the Moray Estate. Planning permission was granted for the building of 5,000 homes in September 2012. The development of the site will take place over many years. Developers claim Tornagrain is the first new town to be built in Scotland for more than 50 years.
