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 Castillo de Dunrobin es una casa señorial en Sutherland, en el área de las Tierras Altas de Escocia, y la sede familiar del Conde de Sutherland y el Clan Sutherland. Se encuentra a 1 milla al norte de Golspie y aproximadamente a 5 millas al sur de Brora, con vistas al Dornoch. NOTA - EL CASTILLO DE DUNROBIN ESTÁ CERRADO DE NOVIEMBRE A ABRIL Solo se puede visitar el exterior del castillo durante estos meses.
Los mamíferos más visibles en Loch Fleet son focas: se pueden ver focas comunes desde la carretera pública en Skelbo durante todo el año, y las focas grises visitan durante los meses de invierno. Aquí también se encuentran murciélagos de nutria y pipistrelle, junto con otros mamíferos terrestres escoceses típicos como el corzo, el zorro, la marta de pino y la comadreja. Se han registrado ardillas rojas y gatos monteses escoceses en la zona,
El nombre 'Dornoch' 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.
Explore la historia detrás de la destilería en funcionamiento más antigua de las Tierras Altas del Norte, mientras adquiere una idea de la importancia de sus métodos excepcionalmente lentos y pacientes, así como del papel de sus orgullosos y dedicados destiladores.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our tour with George as our kilted guide! He provided interesting and informative commentary as we drove through the Scottish countryside to the most stunning castle and incredible gardens and falconry show. We had spectacular weather and plenty of time to explore at the castle stop! George also stopped at Royal Dornoch golf course to pick up a score card for my niece. She was thrilled! Balblair distillery wasn’t available so we changed to Glenmorangie which was a great experience. He was always checking to see if we needed the restrooms and was aware of their locations along the route. We can’t recommend this tour enough. One of the best tours we did on our 38 day trip to the British isles.
Thank you so much for your very nice review , At the end of the day i was only doing my job ,, Looking after you guys the best i can So happy you both enjoyed your day ,,
This was an 7-8 hour full day tour and George, our driver from the Mackintosh clan was excellent. He talks about each neighborhood giving a full description and tons of pointers. The Dunrobin Castle is a fabulous tour and we all truly enjoyed it, including my 3 year old granddaughter! My daughters said this was the best day ever.

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.

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
