Newhall Mains
NEWHALL MAINS: Private airstrip
Note: The first picture was obtained from the hotel owners and airstrip operators web-site. The other three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: On the N side of Black Isle, S across the Cromarty Firth from Invergordon, about 8nm NW to NNW of Inverness airport
Period of operation: 2020 to -
Runway: 08/26 625x21 grass
NOTES: I have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for this. He found on YouTube an example of a flight from REDHILL to here in August 2020 by - The Flying Reporter . The owner and/or manager of the newly renovated building, which is really first class accommodation, says in the programme that he gained his PPL six years before, so naturally wanted it to have its own airstrip.
Apart from being great news, although restricted for use by guests, (PPR of course), it is always a pleasure to find a new destination. In fact, so new when this listing was made, (August 2020), that I could not find it on Google Earth ©. From memory the first time this has ever happened!
A request for help in finding the exact location was kindly given, and this explains why a marker could be placed on the Google Earth © pictures.
(Note from the author: I must try to remember to update these images once they are updated.)
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
