Itinerario
Conocido localmente como Millionaires Viewpoint, tiene que ser 2 de las escenas más pintorescas de las Highlands de Escocia. El nombre proviene del empresario Andrew Carnaigie, que en su hogar fue el castillo de Skibo. Se dice que traería a todos sus amigos visitantes a este punto para mostrarles las opiniones.
El nombre 'Dornoch' se deriva del gaélico para 'lugar de guijarros', lo que sugiere que el área contenía guijarros del tamaño de un puño (dorn) que, por lo tanto, podrían usarse como armas. [4] Dornoch tiene la Catedral de Dornoch del siglo XIII, la Cárcel de la Ciudad Vieja y el Palacio Episcopal anterior, que ahora es el conocido hotel, el Castillo de Dornoch y un notable campo de golf, el Royal Dornoch Golf Club, nombrado el quinto mejor campo de golf fuera del Estados Unidos. También es notable como el último lugar donde una bruja fue quemada en Escocia. Su nombre fue reportado como Janet Horne; fue juzgada y condenada a muerte en 1727. Hay una piedra, la Piedra de la Bruja, que conmemora su muerte, inscrita con el año 1722.
Pasando a Loch Fleet para experimentar una mezcla mágica de vida salvaje, paisajes costeros y pinares. ... Si el clima y el tiempo son correctos, deberíamos algunas focas tomando el sol en las arenas. La reserva está en el lado este de A9 en Sutherland, entre Dornoch y Golspie. ..
Nos detenemos aquí para ingresar a Castle, Castle Gardens y Falconry Display. Este castillo es una de las casas habitadas más antiguas de Escocia. La exhibición de cetrería es impresionante y te sorprenderá la exhibición que hacen por ti.

George Ritchie is a knowledgeable and accommodating guide. Gave us wonderful overview and plenty of background info. Even went out of his way to show me a couple of top golf courses. Castle and gardens are spectacular. Definitely recommend.
The so called "guide" arrived late, and the company gave a false excuse. We asked the driver, and he said that it was not true. According to the description of the tour, we were supposed to have a "knowledgeable, kilted guide." The driver was not wearing a kilt, and did not share any knowledge. We sat in complete silence for most of the time. Also we were not offered any water as described. On the tour we did the previous day and for a lot less money, the guide spoke the entire time, and we had a goodie bag with local beverages and treats. We were just expecting water. What a difference a guide can make. We loved Dunrobin Castle and the falconry exhibition, as we are bird lovers. It was fun to stop and meet the highland cow. We didn't get to walk around Loch Fleet which was disappointing, because we like birds, nature, and wildlife. I think we drove right by it, but the driver never said anything so we didn't know. We had to find out some information about Dornoch Cathedral from a kilted guide from another company who accompanied his guests inside. Our driver just dropped us off and stayed in the van. We contacted the owner afterwards about our disappointment, and he said my wife was rude. Yes we were irritated when the driver was late, and we were told to arrive early. No we did not believe that the driver was tying up the ship... come on! It would have been more professional to apologize for the poor experience and offer at least a partial refund, not insult my wife. You can see in the reviews when someone isn't completely satisfied, it is someone else's fault. I believe we would have had a much better experience with George or Alistair, but it was a bad luck of the draw.
Stephen, our guide, waited for us as we were delayed an hour getting off our ship due to Scottish customs. The tour was narrated well and we saw a large part of the Scottish landscape, small towns, distillery, golf course and the million dollar view (which was only worth 1/2 million, due to rain and slight fog). There was one other surprise at the end of the tour which I won’t ruin. Based on the fact we were an hour short due to customs we feel the tour was well worth it. (He also made one of our group members extremely happy when he found the bag she forgot and returned it to the dock). We unfortunately did not see any Highland Cows, although we did look for them. I would highly recommend this tour.
Amazing and beautiful!Nice combination of history and scenery.Good narrative and value for Scotland.
Recommend this tour to all travelers
We were able to see much more than on a big group tour. Our host/guide Neil was friendly, efficient and informative. Overall this day was the highlight of our trip.
Alastair was a great host and tour guide. This excursion pleasantly exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend it to others.
Amazing tour! Alister our guide was attentive, patient and let us stop to get close up to Highland cows. He recommended great places to eat, shop and visit on our free time. Best tour I had in Scotland by far.
I concur with everything in Lisa C review. Her party of 2 and our party of 3 were on the same tour and it was a wonderful experience. We had a delay getting off the ship, so we called the company and let them know. They were wonderful and understanding. The tour had 5 people and was in a van with sliding doors on both sides, so small group and easy in and out at stops. David was our guide and he was wonderful. He asked the group at each stop if we wanted to stay longer or have a quick photo. Our group opted for a quick photo at the distillery and spent more time looking at the Heather and views of the moors. The countryside was gorgeous and David provided a lot of helpful information. Dunrobin castle was great, but the gardens and falconry display there were our favorites. I would highly recommend this tour and David. They made our day wonderful and left us with many memories.
Great and varied tour. Beautiful scenery. Alistar also told us a lot about the history of Scotland. A great tour, I can recommend to anyone.
