Forres is a beautiful town in Moray, famed for its award-winning floral displays. It is steeped in history, and features the tallest Pictish carved standing stone in Scotland, and is the ancient home of the real Scottish King Macbeth.
Forres has a 900-year-old high street, built around the Tolbooth you see in the picture. It has a wide range of independent shops and businesses.
Varis Apartments are just off the high street, only 100m away from the nearest bus stop.

Nearby Findhorn is a lovely little village on the edge of Findhorn Bay Local Nature Reserve.
