Beauly takes its name from the French phrase "beau lieu", meaning beautiful place. The village grew around Beauly Priory. It was founded in 1230 by Valliscaulian monks.
Lovat Bridge was built by Thomas Telford in the early 1800s. It opened the village as a key route between Inverness and the north. This influenced how the high street and square developed.
Many traditional buildings around the square remain in use today as homes, shops, and hotels. The village layout reflects this long history.
Beauly Primary School serves children in the village and nearby areas. Older pupils attend Charleston Academy in Inverness, with school transport in place.
Healthcare is supported by the Beauly Practice on Croyard Road. Raigmore Hospital in Inverness handles specialist treatment and emergency care.
The village has a butcher, a baker, a pharmacy, a post office, two supermarkets, and several independent retailers. Campbell's of Beauly and the Old School Beauly are long-standing village fixtures.
Pubs, cafes, and the Phipps Bakery deli give residents a strong choice for everyday eating out.
The A862 runs through the village and connects directly to Inverness in the east and Dingwall to the north.
Beauly railway station is in the village centre. ScotRail services run hourly to Inverness, with journey times of around 15 minutes. Trains continue north to Dingwall, Invergordon, and beyond.
Inverness Airport is roughly 22 miles away by road, around 35 minutes outside peak traffic. Stagecoach bus services also link Beauly with Inverness throughout the day.
This combination of road, rail, and bus supports regular travel. This makes Beauly practical for commuters.

Older homes are close to the square and along the high street. Many are sandstone-built with original windows, fireplaces, and proportions that buyers value for character.
Family housing is found in the residential streets running off the main village. These homes typically include three or four bedrooms, gardens, and off-street parking.
Newer developments sit on the edges of the village. Bungalows for sale in Beauly work well for downsizers and retirees who want single-level living and lower upkeep.
Buyers also search for rural property for sale in Beauly. Smallholdings, cottages, and crofts in the surrounding Aird offer more land and a quieter setting outside the village.
Hamish Homes provides free valuations and covers the cost of your Home Report upfront. You pay nothing until your sale completes.
Timescales depend on price, condition, and the time of year. Family homes priced in line with current valuations often generate early enquiries. A good presentation also helps. Hamish Homes will give you a realistic timeline at valuation.
Beauly has some second-home and short-let activity. This is mainly linked to its position near the North Coast 500 and Loch Ness. Most listings remain residential. If you are buying for personal use, your solicitor can confirm any title or planning conditions.
You will need title deeds, energy performance details, and any planning or building warrant paperwork for past works. Hamish Homes pays for the Home Report upfront. We also arrange the survey appointment once you instruct us. You do not need to organise this yourself.
Hamish Homes operates seven days a week. We arrange accompanied viewings at times that work for you. Evening and weekend viewings are common in Beauly and often attract committed buyers.
Some properties closer to the river or low-lying ground may have a flood-risk note in the Home Report or SEPA flood map. We point this out during viewings. Your solicitor will also review it as part of the legal process before you commit to an offer.
Listings include professional photography, written descriptions, and video tours where appropriate. Drone footage is used for larger plots and rural homes. This helps buyers from southern Scotland and the rest of the UK assess a Beauly property before travelling north.
In Scotland, you need a solicitor to submit a formal note of interest and make an offer. Hamish Homes works with trusted local conveyancing partners across the Highlands. This keeps the process organised once you find the right home.
