Balintore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balintore is a village near Tain in Easter Ross, Scotland.
It is one of three villages on this northern stretch of the Moray Firth coastline - Hilton, Balintore, and Shandwick are known collectively as the Seaboard Villages. Local employment has long been based on fishing, but this is now only a small part of the local economy.
Balintore has a large harbour, built c.1890. With two shops, a post office, a chip shop, one pub and a small hotel/pub, Balintore holds a small but friendly community. Balintore was recently given a boost by the opening of a new village hall, which includes a café.
