Strathpeffer is a unique village situated in a wooded valley within the county of Ross-shire. The name comes from the valley or Strath of the river Peffery.

Don?t go looking for a broad expanse of water, as the River Peffery is no more than a stream or burn.

Strathpeffer owes its existence to its mineral wells. During the 19th century, it became one of the most popular as well as being Britain?s most northerly Spa Town.
