Business in Nairn

Nairn has a tradition of business enterprise. It began through the determination of a young ship's surgeon, Dr John Grigor. He left a lasting legacy by capitalising on the town’s qualities of climate, sea and air - creating a prosperous spa which attracted Victorian visitors from all over and Europe .

 Over ensuing years, farmers and fishermen played a strong role in the continuing development of the town.

 Dedicated people helped generate a strong tourism industry by building golf courses which made Nairn a golfer's mecca, attracting championship events, top international players and golf 'tourists' from all over the world.

 Local businesses have shaped reputations that extend far beyond the town's boundaries. And modern businesses are increasingly choosing Nairn for new ventures or expansion. See Locate in Nairn.

 Recent business start-ups demonstrate that opportunities abound in Nairn.

 A range of business advice and assistance is available through Inverness and Nairn Enterprise and The Highland Council.
