About Dores
Dores is a picturesque village situated on the eastern shore of Loch Ness, just 10 km southwest of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. Known for its scenic beauty, the village was once home to the RockNess music festival, which took place in fields to the north. This vibrant location offers unique planning opportunities, particularly for those interested in developments related to tourism and community events.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Dores area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (September 2026). This makes Dores a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
