Strathpeffer is a small Victorian spa village in the Scottish Highlands, set among rolling glens and pine-clad hills in the council area of Highland. It grew in the 19th century after sulphurous springs were promoted for their curative properties, leaving a compact centre of ornate pump room buildings and the restored Spa Pavilion that give the village a distinctive period character.
Today Strathpeffer mixes tourism and local life: the pavilion and other historic buildings host music and cultural events, while nearby hills, rivers and forestry attract walkers, cyclists and anglers. The village is a few miles north‑west of Dingwall and within easy reach of Inverness, with the wider landscapes of the Black Isle and Wester Ross close enough for day trips, so the local economy combines hospitality, small shops and commuter links to larger centres.
