Journey through Scotland's rich history and breathtaking landscapes with our exclusive private shore excursion, departing from the scenic port of Invergordon.

This meticulously crafted tour begins with a scenic drive through tranquil villages, including sweeping views of the sea. Our first landmark, Dunrobin Castle, is the northernmost of Scotland's great houses and once the largest private residence in the north. With origins dating back to 1275, the castle is a historical gem featuring 189 beautifully appointed rooms adorned with exquisite furniture, classical paintings, and intricate tapestries. The lush, sprawling gardens offer a serene retreat with their prime seaside views and are the perfect backdrop for the highly recommended falconry displays held twice daily.
