ヒュー・ミラーは背の高い(6フィート近く)男性で、燃えるような赤い髪と「サファイア」の青い目がたくさんありました(妻のリディアによると)。彼は計り知れない身体力を持ち、最も重要なのは並外れた範囲の探究心を持っていることでした。彼は独学で地質学者であり、地球の歴史について、雄弁さ、想像力の幅広さ、そして他の誰も持っていないような記述力で書いています。彼の6,000を超える標本の化石コレクションは、エディンバラのロイヤルスコットランド博物館にある今日のスコットランド国立コレクションの基礎となっています。 The Old Red Sandstone、The Cruise of the Betsey、Footprints of the Creator、Rocksの証言、スコットランド北部のシーンと伝説、My Schools and Schoolmasters(autobiography)などの彼の本は、多くのエディションでベストセラーになりました。ヒュー・ミラーは福音主義のクリスチャンでした。彼は、彼の新聞「The Witness」のコラムを介して、宗教的な反対者との討論で猛烈に攻撃的でした。彼は新しい長老派教会の設立を手伝い、その名前をスコットランドの自由教会と名付けました。印刷物の彼のすべての凶暴さのために、彼は石工としての彼の若さでの彼の苦労のために、彼の人生のすべてで、非常に内気で、内向的で、謙虚で、憂鬱になりやすく、珪肺症に悩まされていました。最終的に彼は、クリスマスイブの早い時間に、エジンバラ郊外のポートベローのシュラブマウントにある自宅で、自分の手で胸に一発で死ぬことになりました。その時までに、彼の脳は「燃えて」おり、悪夢と狂気に近づくことへの恐怖に苦しんでいました。彼は未亡人、リディア、自身の作家を残し、彼の本のいくつかの死後の出版物を編集して確保し、4人の子供、ハリエット、ウィリアム、ベッシー、ヒュー・ジュニアは父親のような地質学者になりました。ミラーハウスは2004年4月8日に絶賛されました。
Had great fun with Johnny, our guide, and another couple. Highlights included Knockfarrel (amazing views, despite some clouds and rain), Rogie Falls, Beauly Priory and Clootie Well. Johnny was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. He was also flexible in case we wanted to stop for lunch (we didn’t).

Knowledgeable and Flexible Tour Guide
Johnny was waiting for us just outside the port entry on a very rainy and blustery day. He quickly let us know that the tour itinerary was not suitable for the bad weather and suggested going to the Castle as an alternative. Since my husband loves a good castle, we quickly accepted. It was a great choice! Johnny also went out of his way and extended the tour to be sure we saw as much of the area as possible, stopping to allow us to get pictures. It is recommended that keeping an attentive ear to Johnny’s tour descriptions is required as his Highland dialect is quite different from American English, but also a part of his charm. We are very grateful to Johnny for the quick adaptation to the tour plans as it allowed what initially seemed like a bleak day to one we thoroughly enjoyed!

Great day on the Black Isle
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.

Get to know the Black Isle
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.

Excellent - Trevor was wonderful!
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!

A successful 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.

Highland Premium Tours delivers
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.
