Struie

Known locally as Millionaires Viewpoint this has to be 2 of the most scenic scenes in the Highlands of Scotland. The name originates from the entrepreneur Andrew Carnaigie who's home was once Skibo castle. It is said he would bring all of his visiting friends to this point to show them the views.

Falls of Shin

Follow the winding road up through Achany Glen, alongside the meandering River Shin to an opening in the pine forest where the majestic Atlantic salmon leap up the thundering falls in a valiant attempt to get back up stream. Every year throughout the summer, the fish return from the open ocean, swimming up the Dornoch Firth and the Kyle of Sutherland to try to reach further up the River Shin to where they were spawned. However, before they reach their destination they must pass the powerful torrent of water at the Falls. Standing on the viewing platform you can watch the salmon as they try to leap clear of the water. Some manage to pass on their first attempt while others have to jump again and again. From the platform there are also fine views both up and down the River Shin, a popular fishing destination in the North of Scotland. (The best time to spot the salmon is between May – September.)

Loch Fleet

Moving on to Loch Fleet to experience a magical blend of wildlife, coastal scenery and pinewoods. ... If the weather and timing is right we should some seals basking on the sands. The reserve is on the east side of A9 in Sutherland, between Dornoch and Golspie. ..

Dornoch

The name 'Dornoch' is derived from the Gaelic for 'pebbly place', suggesting that the area contained pebbles the size of a fist (dorn) which could therefore be used as weapons.[4] Dornoch has the thirteenth-century Dornoch Cathedral, the Old Town Jail, and the previous Bishop's Palace which is now the well-known hotel, Dornoch Castle and a notable golf course, the Royal Dornoch Golf Club, named the 5th best golf course outside the United States. It is also notable as the last place a witch was burnt in Scotland. Her name was reported as Janet Horne; she was tried and condemned to death in 1727. There is a stone, the Witch's Stone, commemorating her death, inscribed with the year 1722 Duration: 30 minutes

This was a wonderful tour! We had a small group of 6 in a nice van. We had excellent sight from every seat and we could hear the tour manager perfectly, he had a mic on. The countryside was just beautiful, we really felt like we had gone to the countryside and saw amazing beauty more than anyone else! We were on 1-2 lane roads. We had several stops at lookout points, at the Shin Falls with a nice walk down to see them. We were too early for the Salmon run, but it was still beautiful to sese. The Dunrobin Castle was stunning, I loved the garden, looked like a small Versailles! They had a nice cafe inside where you could eat lunch or grab a snack. The Loch Fleet was really cool, we saw a lot of seals, it was just a beautiful area. The town of Dornoch was another quaint stop that we loved! The Cathedral was beautiful, the town was pretty and great to walk around in to see the sights & have a snack if you like.

Lovely tour, especially impressed with Dunrobin Castle. Too bad they didn't see salmon at Shin Falls.

Sehr zu empfehlen! Am Vortag des Ausflugs bekam ich eine Mail mit einer genauen Beschreibung des Treffpunktes mit dem Hinweis, der Fahrer würde einen Kilt tragen. Damit war es ganz einfach, den richtigen Fahrer zu finden. Als erste Überraschung stellte sich heraus, dass wir an dem Tag nur zu dritt waren (meine beiden Freunde und ich), was natürlich ein Glücksfall war. Richie war sehr nett, ging auf unsere Wünsche ein, erzählte sehr viel zu Land und Leuten. Das natürlich auf englisch, aber für mich gut zu verstehen. Die Tour war wirklich traumhaft. Wir waren zunächst am Millionairs View, einem Aussichtspunkt mit grandiosem Blick über die Landschaft. Dann ging es weiter zu einem Wasserfall, an dem man ganzjährig Lachse springen sehen kann. Wenn man Glück hat, ich habe die beiden, die gesprungen sind, leider verpasst. Weiter ging es zum Dornoch Firth, einem Fjord, in dem man regelmäßig Seehunde trifft. Dort lagen über 100 dieser Tiere auf den Sandbänken. Natürlich konnte man sich Ihnen nicht weit nähern, sie waren aber dennoch teilweise gut zu erkennen und zu fotografieren. Danach war Dunrobin Castle dran, ein wunderschönes Schloss mit tollem Park. Wir hatten 2 Stunden Zeit, alles zu besichtigen und der Flugshow im Park zuzuschauen. Weiter ging es in das Städtchen Dornoch, dass mit einer zum Hotel umgebauten Burg und einer sehr schönen Kathedrale auch einiges zu bieten hatte. Den Abschluss bildete ein kurzer Stopp bei der Glenmorangie Destillerie, der auf unseren Wunsch hin erfolgte. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Tag mit einem sehr netten und kompetenten Guide. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder buchen.
