See below for posts of breaking sensational news for Nairn. Now it's the Beeb that has caught the Nairn good holiday vibes viral news story:

Gaelic even gets a mention, more here: 'Nairn in the Highlands in holiday destination top five'

And of course now the Daily Mail finding out about  a story first mention here in the Gurn one week ago :-)
