Easter Kinkell

Scotland

Easter Kinkell is a small Black Isle village reached via the A832 from Inverness, about 20km northeast across the Kessock Bridge. The settlement sits in fertile farmland between the Cromarty and Moray Firths, benefiting from the peninsula's notably mild microclimate. Over 30 EV charging points serve the area, reflecting its popularity with North Coast 500 tourists. The village name derives from Gaelic meaning "head of the wood," and remarkably, many of its field boundaries still follow medieval patterns established by Beauly Priory monks.
