Community action response - five things you can do
- Think of others, consider your actions and be kind.People in every community will face the challenges of Covid-19 in some way from needing basic provisions to help while they are unwell.
- Connect and reach out o your neighbours: as self isolation increases, we need to find new ways to stay connected and check on one another for our physcical and mental wellbeing. Share phone numbers and stay in touch.
- Make the most of local online groups: Keep up to date, share information and be a positive part of your community conversations using platforms like Nextdoor
- Support vulnerable or isolated people: different groups in our communities are at increased risk and social isolation and loneliness are key concerns for all ages. There are things you can do like volunteering for local support services or donating to foodbanks to help.
- Share accurate information and advice: Support anyone who may be anxious about Covid-19. Sign post them to the correct advice from NHS Inform Scotland and encourage people to follow the correct hygiene practices.

General information
Croy and Culloden Moor Community Council normally meet on the first Monday of the month in Croy Village Hall at 7.30 pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
Croy and Culloden Moor lies between Nairn and Inverness. The village of Croy is close to several castles – Kilravock, Dalcross, Castle Stuart and Cawdor. Loch Flemington, to the east of Croy, is home to many birds including Whooper and Mute Swans and the Slovenia Grebe.
Culloden Moor is home to Culloden Battlefield, the site of the last great battle fought on British soil, between the armies of the Jacobites that were loyal to Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the Government soldiers led by the Duke of Cumberland. On the 16th April 1746, in a short but bloody battle, between 1500 and 2000 Jacobite soldiers were killed or wounded in less than an hour. The National Trust for Scotland has a Visitor Centre at the Culloden Battlefield.
A short distance from the battlefield is the Clava Cairns or Balnuaran of Clava. These are circled Neolithic burial chambers that date back to the 1200s. They are regarded as some of the best preserved bronze age burial cairns in Scotland.
The viaduct at Culloden Moor, known as Culloden Viaduct was completed in 1898. The 29 span viaduct cross the wide strath of the River Nairn. At 1800 ft, it is the longest masonry viaduct in Scotland.
