Royal Naval Air Station Fearn or RNAS Fearn (HMS Owl) is a former Fleet Air Arm base located 5.4 miles (8.7 km) southeast of Tain, Scottish Highlands and 21.9 miles (35.2 km) northeast of Inverness, Scottish Highlands, Scotland.
A number of units were here at some point:
The site is currently used as farmland. On the south-east edge, a new, separate, aerodrome has been created by the name of "Eastern Airfield". The control tower is now a private residence owned by couple Justin Hooper and Charlotte Seddon. It was in a 2015 episode of Channel 4's The Restoration Man. .
