What To Expect
Invergordon
**Invergordon** is a charming port town located on the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands. Known for its rich maritime history, it serves as a gateway to the surrounding natural beauty of the Highlands. The town is famous for its murals, which depict local history and culture, and offers a range of activities, from scenic walks along the coast to visits to nearby castles and distilleries. Invergordon is also a popular stop for cruise ships, providing visitors with a peaceful and picturesque introduction to the Highlands' rugged landscapes.
Cawdor Castle
**Cawdor Castle** is a historic fortress located near Nairn in the Scottish Highlands, famous for its connection to Shakespeare’s *Macbeth* and its picturesque setting. The castle was originally built in the 14th century, likely in 1370, and it remains the home of the Cawdor family to this day. It is a fine example of a Scottish Highland castle, showcasing a mix of medieval and Renaissance architectural styles. The castle's most famous link is with William Shakespeare's *Macbeth*, where it is mentioned as the home of the Thane of Cawdor. Though there is no historical evidence that Macbeth ever lived there, the castle’s dramatic atmosphere and rich history certainly evoke the play's themes of ambition and power.
