4 GENERAL Ardivot Farmhouse is an impressive traditional farmhouse located in a wonderful and very accessible position between Elgin and the popular coastal village of Lossiemouth. Moray is famous for its mild climate, has a beautiful and varied countryside with a coastline of rich agricultural land, prosperous fishing villages and wide, open beaches. The upland areas to the South are sparsely populated and provide dramatic scenery, some of which forms the Cairngorm National Park. The unspoilt landscape provides a wide range of leisure and sporting opportunities including fishing on the world famous Spey and Findhorn rivers, skiing at the Lecht and Cairngorm range, and walking. The area has a number of excellent golf courses including The Moray Golf Club in Lossiemouth with its classic Links Course designed by Tom Morris in 1889 and the West Course as designed by Henry Cotton in 1979, Elgin Golf Club (about 7 miles), also the two championship courses in Nairn (about 27 miles). For the sailing enthusiast the marinas at Lossiemouth and Findhorn offer excellent facilities. Lossiemouth is a prosperous town which originated as a fishing village and sea port serving the historic city of Elgin nearby. The town provides a good range of shops, bars, restaurants and other local amenities whilst the surrounding area offers some fine hotels, restaurants and local attractions. Well regarded primary and secondary schooling is available in the town whilst private schooling for children over 8 years of age is available at Gordonstoun School, about 6 miles away.
