This is the ultimate day tour from Invergordon to Loch Ness, taking in some of the most breathtaking, historic and culturally significant sights available anywhere in Scotland. Our local guide will meet you as you disembark from your cruise ship at the port of Invergordon and take you on your own personal Highland adventure.

See the tranquil Ness Islands and St. Andrew’s Cathedral, before moving onto the historic Culloden Battlefield and the sacred site of Clava Cairns, home of the famous Outlander “cleft stone”.

Beauly Priory
We’ll start by travelling west past the town of Alness and over the Cromarty Firth towards Beauly, where we will arrive at Beauly Priory, a beautiful ancient monastery that now lies in ruins but retains an air of reverence and mystery. Beauly Priory was founded around 1230 by monks of the Valliscaulian order. They came from their mother house in Burgundy, in France, and settled beside the Beauly River, at the place where it enters the Beauly Firth. They were invited to do so by the lord, Sir John Bisset. And there their successors lived for the next 300 years, until the Protestant Reformation of 1560 brought their cloistered and contemplative life to an abrupt end. Today their legacy lives on, in their pretty, tree-fringed abbey church, roofless but otherwise largely intact. and on to loch ness 30 min drive

Day Tour from Cruise Port

5.00Our family was looking for something guided from Invergordon port (as there isn't much to do there without a car). We booked last minute and decided on this private tour for our family of 6 as it made more economical sense to do a private tour when comparing the individual costs with other group tours. Stuart was our guide and he was a lovely, knowledgeable man with lots to share. We really enjoyed the day touring the area with Stuart!

5.00We had a great day visiting the Scotland countryside. Our driver, Keith, made sure we were the first at Urquhart castle on Loch Ness. That area was so beautiful! Just as we were finishing our tour of the castle, all the cruise boat tours showed up so it worked out great. We got to feed some Highland cows, went to the battle of Calludron, ate at a real meat cafe outside Inverness. We had a great time exploring the beautiful Scottish highlands with our guide Keith.
Great Day on this tour
