Belladrum, Scotland

Belladrum (Scottish Gaelic: Baile an Druim, meaning "Farm of the Ridge") is a small settlement in the Highland council area of Scotland.

[1] In the early 16th century, Belladrum was one of two davochs of Moy, under rulership of the Barony of the Aird.

It was confirmed by King James IV to the Haliburton family (an offshoot of Clan Chisholm) in the year 1512[2] Nowadays, Belladrum is better-known for its Tartan Heart Festival, a rapidly-growing music and arts festival that has in recent years seen acts like Tom Jones, Jess Glynne, and Lewis Capaldi.

Belladrum Forest is a popular destination for both bikers and walkers, climbing to a radio mast atop Phoineas Hill.

The hill was the site of an ancient Pictish fort, though its remains are no longer visible.
