What we see now is a product of both nature and of man's efforts, a working environment, a cultural landscape.

This world famous theatre is the longest established professional theatre in the Highlands and Islands (1966), it’s one of the oldest touring theatre companies in Scotland, and is the only company in the area to have its own venue.
