The Easter Ross Seaboard is the stretch of coastline running from the North Sutor, Nigg, to the tip of the peninsula at Tarbat Ness.
The coastline extends around fourteen miles and supports three Seaboard villages – Shandwick, Balintore and Hilton. These villages are situated about half way along this beautiful example of Highland coastline. They are often referred to as ‘the villages’ or ‘the Seaboard’.
