Royal Burgh of Nairn: Fishertown 1220 – 1975: Society St.
One of Scotland's earliest Benevolent societies, the Nairn Fisherman's Society was
founded in 1767 to care for the Widows and Ophans created by the hazards of fishing. Income came from Quarterpennies (subscriptions) and from the hire of the Mortcloth, the shroud required for funerals. Land was obtained for housing, smoking sheds, net stores and shops such as grocers, bakers and ships chandlers.

Currently Nairn offers a wonderful and varied range of shops, restaurants, take-aways, bars, social activities, sports and recreation. There is a wide range of Folk nights, ceilidhs, as well as annual Books & Arts Festival, International Jazz festival & the Nairn Highland Games.
