Tain offers relaxation and an exciting range of recreational and sporting activities. Glenmorangie Distillery, an 18 hole golf course designed by Tom Morris and easy access to supermarkets, bus and railway stations are just some of the great things Tain can offer you. As well as local attractions, it is within easy access to Inverness.A warm welcome awaits you at Scotsburn Court, for those aged 50 and over who still wish to live independently in their own home. These properties are easy to maintain and offer tenants the safety of living in a secure environment, whilst maintaining their independent lifestyle.
You can relax, knowing that there is a court coordinator on site part time. There’s no need to worry about maintenance costs either as the service charge covers the cost of all external maintenance, gardening, window cleaning and energy costs of the communal areas.
There are plenty of opportunities for residents to get involved with social activities and events in the court and surrounding area. With so much to enjoy in Tain, Scotsburn Court is the perfect place to enjoy later life." Show less
