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.
Pick up at accommodation near Inverness or at Invergordon port. - Set off along the Cromarty Firth for a 20 minute drive to Glenmorangie Distillery - One hour guided tour around distillery and time in shop - Then a fifteen minute drive along scenic Dornoch Firth to historic Dornoch. - Let's spend an hour in Dornoch exploring the lovely cathedral, shopping in the old jail and maybe a dram or coffee in the Castle Hotel. - Off along the coast, past the site of the last executed witch in Scotland, maybe spotting some seals, if we're lucky, for a 35 minute drive to Dunrobin Castle. - We'll spend up to 2 hours at Dunrobin Castle, exploring the magnificent interior, stunning gardens, watching the very special falconry display and checking out the fascinating animal museum. - Then we head back for a 45 minute drive to Invergordon, maybe stopping off for an ice cream in Golspie. Customization of this tour possible upon request.
