Itinerario
Conosciuta localmente come Millionaires Viewpoint, questa deve essere 2 delle scene più scenografiche delle Highlands scozzesi. Il nome deriva dall'imprenditore Andrew Carnaigie che una volta era la dimora del castello di Skibo. Si dice che porterebbe tutti i suoi amici in visita a questo punto per mostrare loro i punti di vista.
Il castello di Dunrobin è una dimora signorile a Sutherland, nell'area delle Highlands scozzesi, e sede della famiglia del Conte di Sutherland e del Clan Sutherland. Si trova a 1 miglio a nord di Golspie e a circa 5 miglia a sud di Brora, con vista sul Dornoch NOTA - IL CASTELLO DI DUNROBIN È CHIUSO DA NOVEMBRE AD APRILE In questi mesi è possibile visitare solo l'esterno del Castello.
I mammiferi più visibili nella flotta di Loch sono le foche: le foche comuni possono essere viste dalla strada pubblica a Skelbo tutto l'anno e le foche grigie visitano durante i mesi invernali. Qui si trovano anche pipistrelli di lontre e pipistrelle, insieme ad altri mammiferi tipici della terra scozzese come capriolo, volpe, martora e donnola. Scoiattoli rossi e gatti selvatici scozzesi sono stati registrati nella zona,
Il nome "Dornoch" deriva dal gaelico per "luogo di ciottoli", suggerendo che l'area conteneva ciottoli delle dimensioni di un pugno (dorn) che poteva quindi essere usato come arma. [4] Dornoch ha la cattedrale del Dornoch del XIII secolo, la prigione della Città Vecchia e il precedente Palazzo Vescovile che ora è il noto hotel, il Castello di Dornoch e un notevole campo da golf, il Royal Dornoch Golf Club, nominato il 5 ° miglior campo da golf fuori dal Stati Uniti. È anche notevole come l'ultimo posto in cui una strega è stata bruciata in Scozia. Il suo nome fu riportato come Janet Horne; fu processata e condannata a morte nel 1727. C'è una pietra, la Strega, che commemora la sua morte, iscritta con l'anno 1722
Esplora la storia dietro la più antica distilleria attiva nelle Highlands settentrionali, mentre approfondisci l'importanza dei loro metodi eccezionalmente lenti e pazienti, nonché il ruolo dei loro distillatori orgogliosi e dedicati.

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.

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!
