Description
Departing from Invergordon, we head to our first stop, Cawdor Castle. Nestled within beautiful gardens in Nairnshire, this ancestral home of the Campbells dates back to the 15th century. You'll have time to explore the castle and its picturesque surroundings.
Next, we leave Nairnshire and travel to Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands. Here, you'll have over an hour to enjoy lunch and stroll along the banks of the River Ness, with opportunities for great views of Inverness Castle.
From Inverness, our shore excursion continues to Loch Ness for a quick photo and refreshment break, giving you a chance to try your luck at spotting Nessie!
We then make our way to Beauly, a charming Highland town along the scenic River Beauly. The name Beauly comes from the French term "beau lieu," meaning “beautiful place,” a phrase attributed to Mary Queen of Scots during her visit in 1564. We’ll stop here for photos before heading to our final destination: Glen Ord Distillery.
Glen Ord is the only remaining single malt whisky distillery on the Black Isle and is home to Singleton Whisky. Enjoy a tour of the distillery, concluding your Invergordon shore excursion with a tasting of the Singleton of Glen Ord 12-year-old whisky.
Finally, we return to Invergordon, where your Inverness, Cawdor Castle & Highland Whisky shore excursion concludes.
