New day tours for 2020
Into the great wide open:
This is a tour for wilderness lovers, passing through the world famous Flow Country. Flow comes from an old Norse word meaning “empty”.
The Struie Road, Dornoch Firth viewpoint, the million dollar view, Carbisdale Castle, Shin Falls, Lairg, after then it is wide open spaces mile after mile through Strath Vagastie with many photogenic mountains ( Bens Klibreck, Loyal, Hea and Hope to name but four) and lochs until we reach the North Coast at Tongue, where we take in Castle Varrig, stronghold of the MacKay clan, and the spectacular causeway crossing the Kyle of Tongue, then Eastwards along the North coast to Bettyhill with its salmon station and fabulous view of the golden beach of Torrisdale Bay. Then South through Strathnaver and into Strath Kildonan, scene of a gold rush in the 1880s, and then either Glen Loth where herds of deer are usually visible or Helmsdale, with its poignant monument to the people driven from their homelands during the Highland clearances, then back along the NE coast road to Invergordon, passing by the Clynelish distillery, Carn Liath, Dunrobin Castle, Loch Fleet for its resident seal population and the picturesque town of Dornoch if time permits.
Journey to the end of the world
This is a tour for lovers of coast and cliffs.
Tain (Scotland’s first royal burgh), the picturesque town of Dornoch, Loch Fleet for its resident seal population, passing by the Clynelish distillery, Carn Liath, Dunrobin Castle, then through Helmsdale with its poignant monument to the people driven from the homelands during the Highland clearances, from here the clifftop scenery starts to become really spectacular, the Hill o’ many Stanes, the Whaligoe Steps - 330+ steps down to a picturesque harbour, Wick with the shortest street in the world, John o’ Groats then Duncansby Head - the true NE extremity of the Scottish mainland with its magnificent Stevenson lighthouse, views to the Orcadian archipelago and breathtaking sea stacks, sea birds and cliffs. Possibility of visiting the Castle of Mey* and the Camster Cairns on the way back. The road back to Invergordon is pretty much the same as the road North, but it usually looks completely different due to the change in perspective.
