Welcome to Tornagrain : a new town to be proud of.
The Earl of Moray’s Moray Estates’ new town east of Inverness builds upon the successful architectural and planning history of the Highlands and Scotland. A mixed tenure of mid-range housing. A place the Highlands can be proud of.
New houses in the architectural style of the Highlands, so carefully crafted that many do not realise that these are modern construction with fibre optic Internet.
The overriding aim is to provide a high quality of life by attention to the quality of architectural detailing and urban planning, with good access to transport, local facilities and green space.
My guess is that this will soon be a place of architectural pilgrimage to rival Poundbury. Judge for yourself.
These photographs give only a glimpse of Phase 1A to encourage others to visit, appreciate what they see and take away some good lessons in the design and layout of new housing respecting the people and the local traditions.
