Birchbrae is located in a rural setting on a farm access track in the small community of Mulben about 4 miles from the
lovely market town of Keith where GlenIsla whisky is distilled.
If you want to do nothing but to relax in
peace and quiet then enjoy the peaceful rural setting by the log fire or in the hot tub in the garden.

Way which is only 2 miles away. There are newly constructed mountain bike trails on Ben Aigan and the nearby forestry

The Moray towns and coastal villages are picturesque with many receiving "Best in Bloom"
gardening awards. The coastal villages have lovely harbours and traditional buildings.
The
historical town of Elgin is only 12 miles away. It has a bustling town centre with a range of shops including many independant
retailers as well as the larger supermarkets and chain stores. Elgin Cathedral and Biblical Garden are only
two of the many beautiful historic sites and gardens.
For a day trip travel to Inverness
or Aberdeen, both about 1 1/2 hours from Mulben. Some of our guests have also travelled even further
to Loch Ness, Fort William, Ullapool and even Skye!
Throughout the year Moray hosts many traditional festivals,
Highland games and sporting events in the summer months.
It is the ideal location for fishing, golfing,
cycling, hill walking, rambling, horse riding and other outdoor sports.
Many of the Whisky distillerys have visitor
centres and provide tours throughout the year. The independant and locally based companies of Baxters of Speyside (Soups
& Preserves), Johnstons of Elgin (Cashmere & Woollens), Walkers of Aberlour (Shortbread) and Deans of Huntly
(Shortbread) all have good visitor centres and retail shops.
