Kipling was inspired to write his masterpiece Kim at the Old Manse at Creich, near Ardgay. The epic, which tells the story of an Irish soldier's orphan living on his wits in India, is widely acknowledged as Kipling's greatest novel and a key element in his winning the 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature. The house dates back to the 1700s, when it was built on a site of an early settlement used by the monks of St Duthus, the patron saint of Tain.
