A little history
Forres has won Britain in Bloom more times than any other town — the Grant Park floral displays are extraordinary. Sueno's Stone, standing over 6 metres tall, is one of the finest Pictish carved stones in existence, depicting a battle scene in extraordinary detail. Brodie Castle (NTS) is nearby.
Grant Park in summer is genuinely extraordinary — the floral displays are world-class. Sueno's Stone for the Pictish carvings. Brodie Castle for the daffodils in spring. The Forres area for Speyside whisky day trips.
