Inverness/invergordon


Recommended Posts

We were looking at a Scottish Highlands tour, but I'm wondering if that is too similar to a Loch and Highlands tour from Greenock . we are now thinking of maybe just going to Inverness for the day . Any suggestions suggestions on the best way to spend the Port day from Invergordon?

The countryside is quite different IMO. If you look at the local tourism website you will get some ideas. Popular things to do without a guide / using local public transport or taking taxis include visiting a whisky distillery, visiting Dunrobin Castle or even trying to spot the Loch Ness Monster.

Personally I wouldn't spend too long in Inverness.

We just did the British Isles cruise and in Invergordon we went to Urquhart Castle, which was really cool and overlooks Loch Ness so you can "look for" Nessie. Inverness was a cute town but didn't look like much to do there. We also drove through some beautiful countryside and our guide pointed out heather flowers and sang songs to us in Gaelic, a memorable experience. If you do a Loch cruise or tour from Greenock it would be Loch Lomond (not Loch Ness) if that makes a difference.

We booked a tour through WOW Scotland - Lock Ness, Inverness and Outlander tour - sites: Invergordon and Cromarty Firth, Beauly, Inverness, Loch Ness, Highlands, Clava Cairns (Outlander), Culloden Battlefield, Highland Cows.  This tour came highly recommended by someone here on Cruise Critic.  We'll be there in September.

I'm looking at booking this tour. Were you pleased with it?

TIA!
