Purlie Lodge Apartment is settled into pine woodland and is adjacent to the owner's home in the rural, scattered community of Abriachan. The property is situated high up in the hills which surround Loch Ness, nestled on the A82, almost equidistant between the bustling city of Inverness, and Drumnadrochit.

Scenic walks are boasted from your doorstep, so why not visit Abrichan Forest Trust woodland to check out the local wildlife, where you will find breath-taking views of Loch Ness? Walks are varied in length and difficulty, and also offer mountain biking trails for adventurous afternoons, or there is the option of heading into Inverness to enjoy the many independent stores, cafés, restaurants, and pubs. Here there are also attractions including Inverness Cathedral, a selection of museums, Craig Phadrig, a locla golf course, Inverness Botanic Gardens, and dolphin watching at Dolphin Spirit Inverness. There is simply so much to be explored with a stay at the beautiful Purlie Lodge Apartment.

The Capital of the Highlands, the city of Inverness, is the gateway to the countless delights of the Highlands of Scotland. Towering mountains, dark lochs, great forests and precipitous sea cliffs are all within easy reach. Of particular note is the legendary Loch Ness, which is surrounded by some truly breathtaking scenery, although most visitors are usually on the lookout for something a bit more mysterious! Just outside the city is the Culloden Battlefield at Culloden Moor (National Trust). The site of the last major battle fought on British soil, there is an award-winning display depicting the battle, whilst a walk on the field serves as a poignant reminder of the clansmen who lost their lives. Inverness itself has much to offer, museums, an art gallery, fine theatre and leisure facilities, not to mention shops, pubs and restaurants. The River Ness flows through the city and both the river and neighbouring Moray Firth are home to a diverse range of wildlife and marine life including red kites, along with dolphins, which can sometimes be seen from the shore, or on trips from the harbour.
