Chanonry Point, Scenic viewpoint in Fortrose, Scotland
Chanonry Point is a peninsula in Scotland's Highlands that juts into the Moray Firth. From this spot, you can see across the water and toward the Black Isle on the other side.
The Chanonry Point lighthouse was built in 1846 to guide ships safely along the Scottish coast. This was a key step for maritime safety in the region.
Local residents pass down maritime stories through generations, maintaining the cultural heritage of the Highland region.
You can park at Wester Greengates or use the limited spaces right at the point itself. The location is easy to reach on foot, and visiting at low tide gives you more shoreline to explore.
