Brightoning up the Scottish Highlands

Have you ever been to Brighton and thought, ‘blimey, this place is so amazing and I love it so much, I wish there were two of them.’? Well, if you have, your luck is in. Sort of.

‘Brighton of the North’

Just over 632 miles away from Brighton, a Scottish Earl has put in a planning application for a ‘Brighton of the North’ in Nairn, near the Highlands. That’s right, just like Brighton…restaurants, bars, boutique shops, a thriving gay nightlife, £4 pints and all that Highland sun sun sun. Oh. Well there will be an ecological centre and community woodland. I can sense the Brighton set packing their bags right now.

Actually it’s pretty impressive

Actually, Brighton comparisons aside, the £70 million plans for the Victorian seaside town are pretty impressive. They include 300 new homes and tourist attractions such as an 18-hole golf course, an equestrian centre and hotel, spa and conference facilities. Developers are focusing on the 525 or more leisure and construction jobs that will be created and the boost to the area as a whole, which was once a popular destination for tourists.

Fat Boy Slim and Zoe Ball too…

No-one was available to confirm or deny whether developers will be holding casting sessions for Fat Boy Slim and Zoe Ball lookalikes. So perhaps not the place to soak up the southern sun, but a pretty worthwhile development in itself.
