Ardersier or Cambletown on the Moray Firth out towards Fort George and Chancery point. SCO 11,165.
Today the village remains a popular tourist spot due to the pleasant views, the shore, and the proximity to Fort George, which remains an active base for the British Army. The post office closed in the village a few years ago but the service re-located to a local shop. There is an old church that is not in use and a 'new' church called Ardersier Parish Church which is where Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford were married in 1997. There are two small shops (RS McColl & Spar - which offers the postal service), a pharmacy, a hairdressers, several B&B's, two pubs (The Gun Lodge and the Star) and a hotel. Local residents, though, are active in regenerating Ardersier being keen to see it once again a thriving village. They formed their own community company in December 2009 to take over local community buildings to create a Community Hub. In 2013, refurbishing was started of Ardersier War Memorial Hall. It re-opened for the public in 2014.
