The Claymore House Hotel is ideally situated close to Inverness Airport and only a short distance from Aberdeen Airport. Glasgow and Edinburgh Airports are within 3 hours drive.
For the Golfer
Nairn is around a three to four hour drive from most of central Scotland - if travelling from your hotel around Troon or Turnberry in Ayrshire it will take around five hours, from The Old Course at St Andrews or Carnoustie you would be in Nairn in less than four hours and Gleneagles would be just over three. If staying in the hotel you could be on the tee at Royal Dornoch within ninety minutes.
