Day Tour from Inverness & Invergordon
Overview of your Inverness tour
This hidden gem of the Highlands tour is my favourite day tour, taking in, Castles, whisky and beautiful views, the perfect day in every way. Once we depart, we will travel along the Dornoch Firth, past Skibo Castle (Holiday home of Andrew Carnegie) then on through the wildlife haven of Strath Fleet to arrive at the breathtaking Dunrobin Castle. The castle was built and dates back to 1275 by Robert, Earl of Sutherland, the impressive house contains 189 rooms, with a rich collection of fine furniture, paintings, tapestries and objects d'art. The castle is magnificently set in a stunning outlook with beautiful gardens which overlook the sea. There should also be a falconry display within the grounds. From here, it's a short journey towards the Royal Burgh of Dornoch, then onwards to your accommodation.
