Hjem til de Valliscaulian-munke, som boede her lykkeligt siden omkring 1230 til 1510. Det blev besøgt i 1564 af Mary Queen of Scots, og ved ankomsten sagde hun, hvad en BEAU LEU eller smukt sted. Efter reformeringen faldt prioryet i brug, og blyet blev fjernet i 1582. I 1652 tog Oliver Cromwell nogle materialer til at bygge et fort i Inverness.

Ord-destilleriet stammer fra 1838 og er det eneste single malt-destilleri på Black Isle. Vandet til mosen blev hentet fra Cuckoo-brønden og beskæftigede 18 personer i de tidlige dage. Nu har det 7 stillbilleder og ejes af Diageo, nu kommer vandet fra White Burn.
Black Isle Brewery tilbyder en kort gratis tur, og Black Isle er et andet sted, som jeg stærkt kan anbefale. Ikke mange af turene ender på Black Isle, hvilket er en virkelig skam, da det er absolut smukt og har nogle gode vandreture og en interessant historie.
Chanonry Point er et af de bedste steder i Det Forenede Kongerige til at se delfin fra flaske fra kysten. Delfinerne er ofte synlige fra Chanonry-punktet, især ved et indgående tidevand, når de leger og fisker i de stærke strømme. Andre vilde dyr, herunder marsvin og grå sæler, kan også regelmæssigt opdages. Europæiske udter er også lejlighedsvis besøgende.
Hugh Miller var en høj (næsten 6 fod) mand med en stor masse flammende rødt hår og "safir" blå øjne (ifølge hans kone, Lydia). Han havde enorm fysisk styrke, og vigtigst af alt et søgende intellekt af ekstraordinær rækkevidde. Han var en selvlært geolog og skrev om jordens historie med en veltalenhed, bredde af fantasi og beskrivende kraft, som ingen andre har dengang eller siden. Hans fossile samling på over 6.000 eksemplarer blev grundlæggende kerne i hvad der er nutidens skotske nationale samling i Royal Scottish Museum i Edinburgh. Hans bøger, såsom Den gamle røde sandsten, krydstogten i Betsey, skabernes fodspor, vidnesbyrd om klipperne, scenerne og legenderne i det nordlige Skotland og Mine skoler og skolemestre (selvbiografi) blev bestseller i mange udgaver. Hugh Miller var en evangelisk kristen. Han kunne være voldsomt aggressiv i debat med sine religiøse modstandere via søjlerne i hans avis, The Witness. Han hjalp med at oprette en ny presbyteriansk kirke og gav den dens navn, Free Church of Scotland. På grund af al sin vildhed på tryk var han intenst genert, indadvendt, ydmyg, tilbøjelig til melacholi og plaget af silikose hele sit liv på grund af hans arbejde i sin ungdom som stenhugger. I sidste ende skulle han dø af sin egen hånd - et enkelt skud i brystet - i de tidlige timer af julaften, ved hans hjem i Shrub Mount, Portobello, lige uden for Edinburgh. På det tidspunkt blev hans hjerne "brændende", plaget af mareridt og frygt for at nærme sig sindssyge. Han efterlod enke, Lydia, selv en forfatter, som redigerede og sikrede postum offentliggørelse af nogle af hans bøger, og fire børn, Harriet, William, Bessie og Hugh Junior, der blev en geolog som sin far. MILLER HOUSE åbnede for stor anerkendelse den 8. april 2004.
Dette elegante tidligere retsbygning, der er opført i klasse A, bygget i 1773, huser nu fascinerende udstillinger om den historiske by Cromarty og den nabogående sogn Resolis, der er GRATIS at besøge.

We had an incredible day with Johnny showing us the Black Isle! He tailored the day to activities we were interested in, beginning with a hike up Knock Farril for sweeping views of the land and firth. Beauly Priory has a fascinating history as does the Clootie Well. We stopped to see some highland ‘coos’ and saw dolphins frolicking at Chanory Point. There were too many charming towns to keep track of! We finished up in Inverness before heading back to the town of Invergorden. The whole time, Johnny kept us entertained with stories and tales of the region.
Johnny was an excellent guide around the Black Isle. We made numerous stops along the way to see little hamlets. Saw some Scottish highland cows up close, tasted a wee dram of whiskey, saw some dolphins and walked the rocky shores. We learned more about Johnny’s town and the economy of the region. All in all it was time and money well spent.
Trevor was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and wonderful guide around Inverness and surrounding area..
Yes I'm very proud to have Trevor on the team. He also spoke very highly of you. Thank you. Johnny
Our tour was off the beaten track and very pleasant. There were only 3 of us and our guide - Trevor. He was excellent. We had a relaxing and educational day. Trevor was clearly attentive to our desires and we had a flexible and interesting day. It was a great day!
We were picked up on time as agreed directly at the Invergordon Cruise Port and then got an impression of the Black Island with a great landscape in almost 6 hours and drove to beautiful spots for photography. In between there was also the opportunity to test and buy Glen Ord whisky on site at the distillery.
Our cruise had an impromptu stop in Invergordon, which left few options for us for excursions. As we had already visited both Invergordon (Dornoch, Dunrobin Castle) and Inverness (Culloden), we wanted to explore the Black Isle but found only one tour - Highland Premium Tours. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice as our driver, John "Johnnie" Mackay Bremner, delivered beyond our expectations. We climbed the Knockfarrel Vitrified Fort (aka The Cat's Back) for fantastic 360 views; took in the magnifience of Rogie Falls; tasted whiskey at Singleton's Glen Ord Distillery; explored both the Beuly Priory and Fortrose Cathedral; fun at Robertson's Larder & Highland Cows; attempted to count all the clooties left at Clootie Well; looked for dolphins at Chanonry Point; toured Hugh Miller's Birthplace Cottage in Cromarty - doing and seeing more with Johnnie today than any three cruiseship excursion we've ever taken. Do we recommend Highland Premium Tours and John Mackay Bremner? - ABSOLUTELY.
Thank you very much Mr and Mrs Ruiz it was my privilege and it was a pleasure to have on board you were very pleasant and great to work with. Haste ye Back.
It was an amazing day trip. Jonny offered this unique tour to black isle which had yet been discovered by tourist. We saw Highlands great nature. The spring, the forest, the waterfall. Even caught a glimpse of salmon swam again the stream. Highly recommended for everyone enjoys nature and fresh air
Thank you so much for this lovely review it was a pleasure to take you off the beaten track to see some Scottish Highland wildlife. Kindest regards Johnny
Our Black Isle trip was guided by Johnny Bremner and we enjoyed to travel under his guidance. Johnny was on time to pick us from our hotel in Inverness, was extremely polite and a happy-go man and enjoyed our day with him thoroughly. He never rushed , was caring for our kids and was well versed with places we went. I would highly recommend his service to anyone travelling to highlands and definitely visit the black isle without fail.
Johnny looked after us and accommodated my mobility needs. Only 4 stars as we didn't get to see any dolphins or seals.
The whole trip was excellent, Johny was a skilled guide who knew a lot of history about the area. He took us to all the places mentioned and more, and was concerned about our comfort and safety throughout the trip.
