Full day to a stunning Castle on a fascinating route (car)
We’ll visit magnificent Dunrobin Castle, family seat of the Earl of Sutherland and Clan Sutherland. A fascinating interior, heavenly gardens and a fabulous falconry display.
We will stop off at Glenmorangie Distillery, one of the world's most well known malts and visit delightful Dornoch, with its 13th Century cathedral, historic castle hotel, jailhouse shop and a chance to learn about the end of the last witch in Scotland.
Then a drive along bonny Loch Fleet, maybe spotting some seals.

Inclusions & Exclusions
Guide fee and hotel / cruise ship pick-up
Entry to Dunrobin Castle and Gardens - 18 dollars PP (reduction for seniors). All refreshments
A one hour diversion to the beautiful Falls of Shin can be arranged, where at certain times of the year salmon can be seen leaping up the Falls. This would add 150 dollars to the tour cost.
Tour Important Information
A tour of the distillery is dependent on availability at the time. Strong winds on the day may disrupt the falconry display. Access to the castle is very challenging for those with mobility issues but transport can be arranged down to the gardens and falconry display and there are washroom facilities there for people with mobility issues to use.
This tour can be undertaken from a cruise ship at Invergordon. The timings will be a little different but the port is nearer the places to visit, so it would be a slightly shorter day.
Dunrobin Castle is open from the 1st April until the 30th October
Important message from the guide
I will always need to check the up to date position at visitor attractions and due to Covid some require advance booking. For these I can't guarantee entry until I have checked and booked.
