Itinerario
El castillo de Dunrobin es una majestuosa residencia en Sutherland, en la zona de las Tierras Altas de Escocia, así como la residencia familiar del conde de Sutherland, jefe del clan Sutherland. La decoración del interior del castillo es realmente excepcional. Su museo exhibe una vasta colección de cabezas de animales cazados por miembros de la familia en un safari, artículos etnográficos de todo el mundo y una importante colección de artefactos arqueológicos. El museo conserva su disposición victoriana-eduardiana y está ubicado en una glorieta del siglo XVIII contigua a los jardines formales. El jardín también alberga un espectáculo de halcones en vivo dos veces al día.
La catedral de Dornoch, construida en 1224, es una iglesia parroquial medieval que da servicio a la pequeña ciudad de Dornoch. Como congregación de la Iglesia de Escocia, que es presbiteriana, la iglesia no es la sede de un obispo, pero conserva el nombre debido a que, históricamente, fue la sede del obispo de Caithness. El cementerio de la catedral está junto al castillo de Dornoch, los restos algo reconstruidos del palacio medieval de los obispos de Caithness. Antiguamente era una catedral católica.
Loch Fleet es un estuario poco profundo, con forma de barra y extensos bancos de arena y lodo, respaldados por marismas y dunas de arena. Debajo de las dunas de arena se encuentra un lecho de roca de arenisca roja antigua, cubierto por crestas de guijarros, que se extienden desde el límite occidental de la Reserva Nacional Nacional hasta la costa actual. Repleto de una gran cantidad de vida silvestre, es un lugar favorito para capturar focas en la arena.
Un lugar tan hermoso para tomar fotografías en nuestro viaje con la extensa vista del terreno escocés con una mezcla de lagos, montañas, vegetación, vida silvestre y el castillo de Carbisdale, un castillo familiar más moderno pero con más de un siglo de antigüedad.
La destilería es propiedad de The Glenmorangie Company Ltd, cuyo producto principal es la gama de whisky de pura malta Glenmorangie. Glenmorangie está catalogada como una destilería de las Tierras Altas y cuenta con los alambiques más altos de Escocia. Las leyendas cuentan que en Tain y sus alrededores se producían bebidas alcohólicas de un tipo u otro desde la Edad Media. Disfrute de una cata de algunos de sus excelentes y galardonados whiskies directamente de sus tierras de origen.
Black Rock Gorge es una hendidura profunda y estrecha, fue causada por rápidos fuertemente cargados con sedimentos que se transportaban hacia arriba como parte del gran rebote postglacial hace más de 10000 años. Es muy profundo, por lo que fue elegido para ser utilizado durante diez días de rodaje para la película Harry Potter y el cáliz de fuego. Un lugar especial para nosotros, ya que está situado en el territorio del clan de nuestra propia familia.

Highly recommend. Johnny was very informative and accommodating. We would not have seen as much as the highlands as we did without this tour. It feels worth the price if you’re coming from far away. He made it feel very special.
Thanks so much for your review and for choosing us to show you around our home here in the Highlands. Wishing you all safe travels on the rest of your journey and will let Johnny know of your review. Take Care. Tony & Johnny
We booked this tour though we made some alterations. We had an unbelievable time, it was so much fun! Johnny thought of everything and is so knowledge, I'd highly recommend this company!
Thanks so much for your review and choosing us to show you around our home here in the highlands. I will let Johnny know of your review and we hope to see you back again some day. Take Care. Tony & Johnny
We were picked up in a very clean, comfortable automobile with waters for everyone and the box full of treats. Tony was very kind and informative. When we did the castle tour he came with us and did a lot of interesting facts about the history of the family. Later in the day, we did a whiskey tasting, and he explained on how to drink it and took lots of pictures for us. We would strongly recommend Tony in his tour, I feel he went above and beyond.
Thanks so much for your review. Glad you enjoyed your day with us and wishing you both safe travels when heading home. Take Care. Tony & Johnny
Our guide was incredible, he took us to spots we would of never seen on our own. Great knowledge of history and Scotland sites. And a surprise whiskey and Scottish snacks tasting at the end. One of the best tours we have ever been on!
Thanks so much for your review, it was our pleasure to show you around our home here in the Highlands. Hope to see you back again someday. Take Care. Tony
John and Tony Munro are incredible guides. They clearly know the history of the region and country and are able to add little known tidbits of interesting information that makes the experience more exciting. They are friendly, funny, and make you feel right at home with the way they share anecdotes and answer questions. My wife and I were thrilled with our two days with these guys and would use them again if we return to Scotland. Don't miss out, give this tour a chance and I guarantee that you will get more than your money's worth!
Thanks so much for your review and kind words, It was our pleasure to show you around our home here in Scotland and we do hope to see you back again some day. Safe travels, All the best from Tony & Johnny
Words can’t describe how great this tour was. John may be the best tour guide we ever had! The day included so much variety; scenic overlooks, waterfalls, Dunrobin castle, an incredible falconry show, Durnloch cathedral and a walk through town, with a lunch at a local restaurant. A quick visit to the Royal Durnloch golf course and a hike to a gorge where some of Harry Potter was filmed. At one point we had casually mentioned my wife’s sister in law was a Munro, ( same last name as our tour guide) , and as a complete surprise, not a planned part of the tour at all, John parked his van in a field in front of the the ancestral castle of the Munro’s and treated us to a whiskey and gin tasting along with a wide variety of Scottish sweets! If we could give 10 stars we would! Don’t hesitate just book with them and they do private tours also.
Hi Andy, thanks so much for your review and kind words. You had the sunniest day for it also. Glad we could show you around our home and local ancestry of the area. Many Thanks from Tony & Johnny
Great guide with Highlands. Johnny was super with his knowledge and friendliness. He really made this day memorable.
Hi Eric, thanks so much for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your day with us and the rest of your trip went well. I will let Johnny know of your review. Take Care. Tony & Johnny
Tony picked us up and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the history and significance of the sites visited. My boys 18 and 21 really enjoyed talking to him and learning the history of the area.Very nice clean Range Rover and Tony really made us feel like VIPs. Very nice visit to Dunrobin castle and the Glenmorangie distillery,among many other things. Tony was a great tour guide, highly recommend him and loved his little extras at the end,a lovely sampling of local sweets and some whisky too !
Thanks so much for your review it was a fun day out with you and your family. Glad you made it home safe and I hope to see you again one day here in my home in the Highlands. Take Care. Tony
Exceeded expectations for our cruise port day. Clean vehicle, friendly knowledgeable driver. Would recommend, would book again!
Thanks so much for your review, glad you enjoyed your day with us and the rest of your cruise goes well. Take Care. Tony & Johnny
Fantastic experience with Tony and John Munro of Highland Guided Tours. We received excellent communication from the the first email I sent in Feb when inquiring about the tours for our visit in June. Tony followed up with a call to discuss the tours and how he could individualize for our small private tour for the 5 of us. He was professional, informative and provided the flexibility that fit our schedule. He was very patient with all the questions asked and even after we tweaked the tours many times. Tony and John are very knowledgeable not only about the Highland area (they are from the Highlands) but they also brought Scottish history to life by providing fascinating and fun stories about Scottish life and culture. Between myself and our friends, we booked about 14 tours over a months’ time and several airport/hotel transfers. They are both excellent drivers and the Mercedes van provided us with a smooth, comfortable ride even on the smallest of roads. Tony made sure each day we had snacks and water. Their choices of places for lunch we excellent. Occasionally they would provide a surprise treat that made everyone smile and felt like we were getting the true Scottish experience. This could have been just a regular sightseeing tour but it turned out to be highlight of our trip simply because Tony and John made each tour unique and fun! Their main goal is for their customers to get as much as Scottish experience as possible by weaving the Scottish traditions and culture into each of their tours. They went above and beyond for each tour and we never felt rushed or hurried at any of the sites we visited. They were happy to take photos of our group at any time and I also convinced Tony to join us in a few! I cannot say enough good things about Highland Guided Tours. If you are looking for private tours for a small group, this is the company to call!!!
Thanks so much for your review, it was our pleasure to show you around our home here in Scotland. We both hope to see you guys back again one day and continue our adventure. Glad you made it home safe. Tony & Johnny
