Gollachy Ice House

Enjoy The Moray Firth from The Gollachy Ice House

Watch the seals at the site of an historic ice house ~ Enjoy a cup of artisan coffee ~ Try a delicious ice cream or a slice of homemade cake (cafe facilities coming soon - not open yet) ~ Soak up the serenity and beauty of the Moray Firth sea views.

Welcome to the Gollachy Ice House near Portgordon. Right here, you can keep in touch with the news about the exciting developments planned for this historic ice house.

In the autumn of 2019, we ‘broke ground’ for the first phase, but you can still enjoy watching the seals and the sunsets.

Gradually, you’ll see the transformation to a ‘must-visit’ cafe overlooking the shore, plus a centre for a variety of wellness activities such as yoga and pilates, dance, meditation, and a range of somatic therapies surrounded by local creative exhibitions.

Seal Beach Coffee

On dates to be announced, we plan to sell coffee, ice cream, drinks and refreshments from our temporary kiosk. Enjoy a locally made artisan ice cream and a coffee while you watch the seals and the views across the Moray Firth.

Hear about the Legend of the Merman of Portgordon

The storyteller here is Carol Scorer and this is her version of the story. She has used several sources from the original material to develop it – one from “Selected Highland Folktales “ by R Macdonald Robertson and other sources were kindly supplied by Professor Peter Reid. Carol says there are a few versions but the various stories are more or less the same. We are very grateful to her for this interpretation.
