Stunning scenic and historical drives – the 5th Century site of Urquhart Castle is romantically set and presented on the banks of Loch Ness – also reached by cruising on Loch Ness, with perhaps, a “Nessie” sighting on the way.

Cawdor Castle – of MacBeth renown is a “must visit”. While a journey to the Isle of Skye with its glorious Cuillin mountains can be made via Loch Ness and, surely the most photographed castle of them all Eilean Donan on the sound of Sleat. 

Return by the wood girts sides of Loch Carron or, more adventurously by the dramatic coastline of Applecross and the tranquil serenity of Loch Torridon. 

Ullapool is an archetypical west Highland community, whilst Dunrobin Castle – seat of the Duke of Sutherland – can be enriched by a distillery visit and, perhaps a “dram” at either Glen Ord or Glenmorangie.  The famed “Whisky Trail” follows the Spey Valley where may be found a plethora of famous names – Pluscarden Abbey and Elgin Cathedral are charming historic sites en route.
