Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Explore Scotland's northeast coast on a narrated drive that offers Highland scenery ranging from gentle farmland to wild moors. Your adventure begins with a scenic ride through gentle farmland punctuated by meandering firths and tiny villages and heather-filled highlands on your way to the Falls of Shin. Along the way, you'll stop at the picturesque Struie Viewpoint. The locals call it 'Millionaires View' with its panoramic highland vistas. After a pause for photos, you'll continue on to the River Shin, one of the greatest salmon rivers in all of Scotland where you may see the Atlantic salmon make their journey upstream to their spawning site. From there, it's on to Dornoch. This seaside resort town boasts the 13th century Dornoch Cathedral, the Old Town Jail, and the Bishop's Palace, which is now the well-known hotel. You'll have free time to shop and explore before returning to your ship.

Special Notes:

The drive between Invergordon and Shin Falls is approximately one hour each way.

Access to Falls of Shin requires significant walking and steps. Access to Dornoch Cathedral is sometimes restricted due to Church services, weddings, or funerals.
