The Royal Burgh of Nairn (Scottish Gaelic: Inbhir Narann), formally 'North Nairnville (Jamie Forsyth talks mince),'is a burgh in The Highlands of Scotland, lying about fifteen miles east of Inverness on the coast of the Moray Firth. Nairn, denoting a larger area than just the town, is also an area committee of The Highland Council and a lieutenancy area. The town has a population of about 11,000. An ancient fishing port and market town. King James VI, when he travelled to London to become King of England, boasted that in his kingdom he had a town whose only street was so long that the people living at one end of it could not understand the language of the people living at the other end. He was speaking of Nairn, formerly split into Scottish Gaelic- and Scots-speaking communities. A town of two halves in other ways, the narrow-streeted fishertown surrounds a harbour built by Thomas Telford while Victorian villas stand in the 'West End'. It is believed that the Duke of Cumberland stayed in Nairn the night before the Battle of Culloden. Nairn is now best known as a seaside resort, with 2 golf courses, a small theatre (called the little theatre) and one small museum, providing information on the local area and incorporating the collection of the former Fishertown museum. In 1645, during the Scottish Civil War, the battle of Auldearn was fought near Nairn, between Royalists and Covenanters.
