The Stables lie half a mile above the town of Cromarty. Converted in 1995 to accommodate a Gallery, artists’ studios, workshop rooms, a darkroom, and a one-bedroom flat. An adjoining game store has been converted to provide a light and airy studio workshop.

“The Stables flat was great – lovely place and fully furnished.”
Anna Jones, Filmmaker, pARTners.

Legendary Gaelic Rock band Runrig have recently utilised space at The Stables.
“….in the recesses of our minds lay this desire to record in somewhere nice. Serendipity stepped in, and The Stables in Cromarty came to my attention. On first viewing the place seemed too good to be true; it’s a beautiful building, recently renovated as an Arts centre, with whitewashed roughcast walls, topped by wooden beams and an immediate positive feeling inside.”

“We owe a debt of gratitude to the Cromarty Arts Trust for making life so simple and for making us feel so at home.” (Iain Bayne, Runrig)
