Tornagrain (from the Scottish Gaelic Tòrr na Grèine meaning 'The Sunny Mound') is a hamlet in the Scottish Highlands. Situated around 7 miles (11 km) northeast of the city of Inverness, it falls within the Highland council area for local government purposes. Tornagrain lies 1.2 miles (2 km) south of Inverness (Dalcross) Airport; and 1.5 miles (2 km) east of Castle Stuart Golf Course which was developed in 2009 and hosted the Barclays Scottish Open Championship for the first time in 2011.

Plans to expand Tornagrain into a community for 10,000 residents^[1] were submitted to planning authorities by the Moray Estate. Planning permission was granted for the building of 5,000 homes in September 2012.^[2] The development of the site will take place over many years.^[3]
