This is a private tour for 1–7 guests. Solo travellers are welcome, with a 2-guest minimum charge. The more guests in your group, the lower the per-person price. Savings start from 3 guests, with the best value when all 7 seats are booked. Travel at your own pace, enjoy plenty of photo stops, and experience the Highlands without sharing your day with strangers.
Visit fairytale-like Dunrobin Castle, explore its grand rooms and gardens, and enjoy the spectacular falconry show. Continue to the seaside town of Dornoch, with time to wander its charming streets and shops, before heading into the wider Highlands. Depending on time and availability, we may also include stops such as Golspie, Glenmorangie Distillery, the Clootie Well or Chanonry Point, making this a varied day of castles, coast, culture and Highland scenery.
Weather, opening hours, private events, or road conditions may occasionally require changes. If so, we'll provide an equally worthwhile alternative.
