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

4.00Our guide was so friendly and you could tell he really loves what he does. He took us to all the stops on our itinerary and was so knowledgeable at each location. He was dressed in the traditional kilt which was so cool and even had props to demonstrate his stories. So fun! Tour was heavy on history and information and at times felt slightly restricting (especially when some of the group was more interested in photo taking). All in all, good experience!
