Brora is a compact coastal village on the north‑east coast of the Highland council area of Scotland, sitting where the River Brora meets the North Sea. It’s known for a long sweep of sand at Brora Beach, classic links golf and a setting that mixes coastal cliffs, moorland and small-scale farmland.
The village grew in the 19th century around coal, salt and textile activity and is perhaps best known to whisky fans for the historic Brora Distillery, famed for peaty single malts and later revived after closure; today the local economy leans on tourism, outdoor pursuits, craft businesses and a strong community interest in heritage and landscape.
