Kendt lokalt som Millionaires Viewpoint skal dette være 2 af de mest naturskønne scener i Highlands of Scotland. Navnet stammer fra iværksætteren Andrew Carnaigie, der engang var hjemme i Skibo-slottet. Det siges, at han ville bringe alle sine besøgende venner til dette punkt for at vise dem synspunkter.
Dunrobin Castle er et stateligt hjem i Sutherland, i Highland-området i Skotland, og familiesædet for jarlen af Sutherland og klanen Sutherland. Det ligger 1 mil nord for Golspie og cirka 5 miles syd for Brora med udsigt over Dornoch BEMÆRK - DUNROBIN SLOT ER LUKKET FRA NOVEMBER TIL APRIL Kun ydersiden af slottet kan besøges i disse måneder.
De mest synlige pattedyr ved Loch Fleet er sæler: almindelige sæler kan ses fra den offentlige vej ved Skelbo året rundt, og grå sæler besøger i vintermånederne. Der findes også otter- og pipistrelle-flagermus sammen med andre typiske skotske landpattedyr som rådyr, ræv, fyrretræ og viskel. Røde egern og skotske vilde katte er blevet registreret i området,
Navnet 'Dornoch' er afledt af det gæliske for 'småsten sted', hvilket antyder, at området indeholdt småsten på størrelse med en næve (dorn), som derfor kunne bruges som våben. [4] Dornoch har det 13. århundrede Dornoch-katedralen, den gamle byfængsel og det forrige Bishop's Palace, der nu er det velkendte hotel, Dornoch Castle og en bemærkelsesværdig golfbane, Royal Dornoch Golf Club, der er kåret til den 5. bedste golfbane uden for Forenede Stater. Det kan også bemærkes, da det sidste sted, en heks blev brændt i Skotland. Hendes navn blev rapporteret som Janet Horne; hun blev prøvet og dømt til døden i 1727. Der er en sten, Heksensten, der mindes om hendes død, påskrevet året 1722
Udforsk historien bag det ældste fungerende destilleri i det nordlige højland, mens du får et indblik i vigtigheden af deres usædvanligt langsomme og tålmodige metoder samt rollen som deres stolte og dedikerede destillerier.

Wonderful trip with Roger our guide & driver. We stopped at many beautiful spots, from falls to scenic overlooks, to cathedrals. There were only 6 of us, so had a very comfortable ride too. Roger was very informative & funny, & made the tour so enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour.

Hi Dan Cooper Thank you for your kind words , And i am so pleased you had a great day with Dave Not Mike !! I will make sure he gets your review
Fantastic tour!! We really had a wonderful time. Very detailed history, good laughs, and tailored experience.
Thank you for your very kind words ,, Safe travels as you go
Hands down, one of the best tours we have taken in Scotland! Our guide was a wealth of information and tailor made everything to exactly what we wanted— more or less time at the various sites. As we were off the cruise ship he was also very cognizant of our all-aboard time and got us back to the ship with time to spare! Highly recommend this to one and all! A great tour! And George was the best guide as well— if you get a chance take his tour!!!
Hi David Thank you for your very nice review Honestly it was a pleasure to show you guys around Safe onward travels
George was a fantastic tour guide! He was charismatic, knowledgeable, good natured, and pretty much knew everyone on the route! He was kind enough to take us on the tour even though there were only 2 of us that day. He did a great job of tying together the historical places and facts. A really fun day!
Wow great words from you guys I am so pleased you both had a fun day Thank you so much
Bob was our guide (George, the owner mentioned in many other reviews, was leading a tour van we were trailing most of the time), and while Bob was friendly and allowed us complete flexibility, he felt more like a private driver than a guide, often giving anecdotes on previous groups he'd driven and sometimes pulling out his phone to do spot research but not providing much of his own commentary. It did not matter to us but he was also not kilted and was driving a personal car so no Wi-Fi as stated in the listing. George did not actually recognize Bob's car so this might have just been a one off thing.
HI , The reason i did not know Bobs car was he recently changed it , And i had no idea it did not have wi~fi as you state . I did have a other driver lined up for this tour ,but the other party of 4 cancelled , and the driver with the bigger vehicle would not do only 2 persons Bob does his own Tours and i have used him before with no issues . It is very difficult to get a party of 2 covered Which i did rather than cancel your booking Sorry if you were slightly disappointed
Great tour! George was a great tour guide. He was able to modify our trip to include seeing some golf courses along with the other must sees in Northern Scotland.
Thank you so much for your kind words Im just happy you had a great day
