Itinerário
Lar dos monges Valliscaulian, que viveram aqui felizes entre 1230 e 1510. Foi visitada em 1564 por Mary Queen of Scots e, à chegada, ela disse que BEAU LEU ou um lugar bonito. Após a reforma, o convento caiu em desuso e a liderança foi removida em 1582. Em 1652, Oliver Cromwell levou alguns materiais para construir um forte em Inverness. Foi aqui que Jamie deixou a Escócia para a França na série de TV Outlander.
A destilaria Ord remonta a 1838, é a única destilaria de malte na Ilha Negra. A água para o esmagamento foi retirada do poço do cuco e empregou 18 pessoas nos primeiros dias. Agora tem 7 fotos e é de propriedade da Diageo. Agora a água vem do White Burn.
A Black Isle Brewery oferece um pequeno passeio gratuito e a Black Isle é outro lugar que eu recomendo. Poucos passeios terminam na Ilha Negra, o que é uma pena, pois é absolutamente lindo e tem ótimos passeios e uma história interessante.
Chanonry Point é um dos melhores pontos do Reino Unido para ver golfinhos-nariz-de-garrafa da costa. Os golfinhos são frequentemente visíveis fora do ponto de Chanonry, particularmente na maré que entra quando brincam e pescam nas fortes correntes. Outros animais selvagens, incluindo botos e focas cinzentas, também podem ser vistos regularmente. As lontras europeias também são visitantes ocasionais.
Hugh Miller era um homem alto (quase um metro e oitenta), com uma grande massa de cabelos vermelhos flamejantes e olhos azuis "safira" (de acordo com sua esposa, Lydia). Ele possuía imensa força física e, o mais importante, um intelecto perspicaz de alcance extraordinário. Ele era um geólogo autodidata e escreveu sobre a história da terra com eloqüência, amplitude de imaginação e poder descritivo, como ninguém mais fez naquela época. Sua coleção fóssil de mais de 6.000 espécimes tornou-se o núcleo fundador do que hoje é a coleção nacional escocesa no Royal Scottish Museum, em Edimburgo. Seus livros, como The Old Red Sandstone, The Cruise of the Betsey, Footprints of the Creator, Testemunho das Rochas, Cenas e Lendas do Norte da Escócia, e My Schools and Schoolmasters (autobiografia) tornaram-se best-sellers em várias edições. Hugh Miller era um cristão evangélico. Ele poderia ser ferozmente agressivo no debate com seus oponentes religiosos, através das colunas de seu jornal, The Witness. Ele ajudou a fundar uma nova Igreja Presbiteriana e deu o nome de Igreja Livre da Escócia. Por toda a sua ferocidade impressa, ele era intensamente tímido, introvertido, humilde, propenso a melacolia e atormentado por silicose durante toda a sua vida por causa de sua labuta na juventude como pedreiro. No final, ele morreria por sua própria mão - um único tiro no peito - nas primeiras horas da véspera de Natal, em sua casa em Shrub Mount, Portobello, nos arredores de Edimburgo. A essa altura, seu cérebro estava "ardendo", atormentado por pesadelos e medos de se aproximar da loucura. Ele deixou uma viúva, Lydia, ela própria escritora, que editou e garantiu a publicação póstuma de alguns de seus livros, e quatro filhos, Harriet, William, Bessie e Hugh Junior, que se tornaram geólogos como seu pai. MILLER HOUSE abriu com grande sucesso em 8 de abril de 2004.
Este elegante antigo tribunal listado como Grade A, construído em 1773, agora abriga exposições fascinantes sobre a cidade histórica de Cromarty e a paróquia vizinha de Resolis, que são GRATUITAS para visitar.

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!
Thank you very much it was a pleasure to show you around and that you enjoyed the tour and the castle Johnny
10/10 would see Scotland again with Johnny! He was super personable and a great guy to spend the day with!
Likewise you were very nice and pleasant Haste ye back to Scotland Blessings
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.
Thank you Hedy for your lovely words and likewise I had a lovely day in your company also. Blessings and Haste ye Back to Scotland Yours Johnny
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.
Trevor was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and wonderful guide around Inverness and surrounding area..
Yes I'm very proud to have Trevor on the team. He also spoke very highly of you. Thank you. Johnny
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!
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.
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.
Thank you very much Mr and Mrs Ruiz it was my privilege and it was a pleasure to have on board you were very pleasant and great to work with. Haste ye Back.
It was an amazing day trip. Jonny offered this unique tour to black isle which had yet been discovered by tourist. We saw Highlands great nature. The spring, the forest, the waterfall. Even caught a glimpse of salmon swam again the stream. Highly recommended for everyone enjoys nature and fresh air
Thank you so much for this lovely review it was a pleasure to take you off the beaten track to see some Scottish Highland wildlife. Kindest regards Johnny
Our Black Isle trip was guided by Johnny Bremner and we enjoyed to travel under his guidance. Johnny was on time to pick us from our hotel in Inverness, was extremely polite and a happy-go man and enjoyed our day with him thoroughly. He never rushed , was caring for our kids and was well versed with places we went. I would highly recommend his service to anyone travelling to highlands and definitely visit the black isle without fail.
