Hill of Fearn

The parish church of Fearn Abbey stands a few minutes walk to the south-east of the village.

Hill of Fearn has a post office which doubles as the village shop and butchers, a primary school and a bus stop.

Hill of Fearn was the birthplace (28 August 1884) of New Zealand Prime Minister Peter Fraser (1 April 1940 to 13 December 1949).

Tarbat Discovery Centre, located 7 miles (11 km) away in Portmahomack, has an archive relating to Peter Fraser (not on display, but may be consulted on request).

The author Eric Linklater (1899–1974), when he was owner of nearby Pitcalzean House, Nigg in the 1940s and 1950s bought his clothes from the village tailor, Norman Smart.
