Lokaal bekend als Millionaires Viewpoint moet dit 2 van de meest schilderachtige scènes in de Schotse Hooglanden zijn. De naam is afkomstig van de ondernemer Andrew Carnaigie, wiens huis ooit het kasteel van Skibo was. Er wordt gezegd dat hij al zijn bezoekende vrienden naar dit punt zou brengen om hen de standpunten te laten zien.
De naam 'Dornoch' is afgeleid van het Gaelisch voor 'kiezelplaats', wat suggereert dat het gebied kiezels bevatte ter grootte van een vuist (doorn) die daarom als wapens kon worden gebruikt. [4] Dornoch heeft de dertiende-eeuwse kathedraal van Dornoch, de oude gevangenis en het voormalige bisschoppelijk paleis dat nu het bekende hotel is, het kasteel van Dornoch en een opmerkelijke golfbaan, de Royal Dornoch Golf Club, uitgeroepen tot de 5e beste golfbaan buiten de golfbaan Verenigde Staten. Het is ook opmerkelijk omdat de laatste plaats waar een heks werd verbrand in Schotland. Haar naam werd gerapporteerd als Janet Horne; ze werd berecht en ter dood veroordeeld in 1727. Er is een steen, de Witch's Stone, ter herdenking van haar dood, ingeschreven met het jaar 1722
Op weg naar Loch Fleet om een magische mix van dieren in het wild, kustlandschap en dennenbossen te ervaren. ... Als het weer en de timing goed zijn, moeten we wat zeehonden koesteren op het zand. Het reservaat ligt aan de oostkant van de A9 in Sutherland, tussen Dornoch en Golspie. ..
We stoppen hier voor toegang tot Castle, Castle Gardens en Falconry Display. Dit kasteel is een van de oudste bewoonde huizen in Schotland. Het valkerij-display is geweldig en je zult versteld staan van het display dat ze voor je doen

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.
