What To Expect
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.)

5.00There were seven of us traveling together and we made up the entire group. It was nice to have the personal touch and to not be just one of a huge coach. Ritchie was so professional and knowledgeable, funny and friendly and he wore a quilt! He was great about sharing information for our destinations and the area as we motored along. We had lots of questions and he answered them all patiently and with good information. The scenery and stops were excellent! I would highly recommend Ritchie's excursion!!
Best of the Scotland Castles.

5.00Our tour guide, Richie was knowledgeable and personable throughout the tour. We were lucky to have him as a private tour guide for the day. He knew all the wonderful places to see in Invergordon. We had a great day. It was one of our most favorite days on our trip! Thank you!
Very enjoyable but a little pricey

4.00Our guide/driver was easy to find when we left the ship. The email the company sent a few days before our shore excursion was very helpful. Dun Robin Castle was the highlight of the tour. Shin Falls is located in a beautiful rural area. This part of Scotland is breathtakingly beautiful. The guide was hard to understand due to his accent. The 8-passenger van was clean and comfortable. The price of the castle admission was not included in the fee, which I thought was a little high for what we got in comparison to similar shore excursions we have taken on this cruise.
Highlands only for us

5.00We've been on a Cruise an had a day in Invergordon to see a little part of the Highlands. Many thanks to our Guide Richie from Highlland-Tours. Although we were only 2 persons, the tours started as a "private" tour. It was a fantastic day and we've been to marvellous places with time enough to enjoy all the impressions. At ending of the day Richie had some hints for us about scotish beer and sweets. So many thanks and best regards from Germany.
The Invergordon - Dunrobin Castle tour is just amazing! Don't miss it!

5.00This 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.
Really enjoyed this excursion and have had a great time.
