Second World War 1939-1945, RAF - Royal Air Force, historic remains
RAF Tain was a World War II airfield built on Morrich More to the north east of the town of Tain, which lies on the shores of the Dornoch Firth, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Invergordon.
The area has served as both a wartime airfield for the RAF, the FAA, and the USAAF, with flying continuing after the war until the 1960s. Its use as a weapons range dates back as far as World War I, and range operations have continued and developed there since that time.
