Overview of your Inverness tour:

This shorter day (6 hours) will provide some wonderful Scottish experiences. Magnificent Dunrobin Castle, the family seat of the Earl of Sutherland and the Clan Sutherland, has a fascinating interior, heavenly gardens and a fabulous falconry display. It is my favourite Highland castle, partly because I used to organise abseils there! We will stop off at Glenmorangie Distillery for a tour of one of the world's most well known malts, perfected by the "Sixteen Men of Tain", situated on the coast. A visit to delightful Dornoch is included, with its 13th Century cathedral, historic castle hotel, where my son works (!), jailhouse shop and a chance to learn where the last witch in Scotland was burned to death. Then a drive along bonny Loch Fleet, maybe spotting some of the seals. This tour can be extended to a full day (8 hours at another price) which would provide a circular route, spectacular views and include a trip to a small, friendly Pictish Museum.
