What To Expect
Beauly Priory
From your place of stay in Inverness, we will travel towards Beauly Priory. The ruins of Beauly Priory lie at the east end the main square of Beauly. It was one of three priories founded in Scotland by monks of the Valliscaulian order, from the Burgundy region of France, in the years following 1230. The monks clearly liked what they found when they arrived, for Beauly was referred to in the 1230s as Prioratus de Bello Loco: Latin for "Priory of the Lovely Spot". This suggests that the name Beauly, from the French beau lieu or "beautiful place" dates back far beyond the popular belief that it was based on a comment made by Mary Queen of Scots during her visit in the summer of 1564. and then on to dornoch view point 40 mins
Dornoch Firth Viewpoint
The Dornoch Firth is a firth on the east if Highland, in northern Scotland. It forms part of the boundary between Ross and Cromarty to the south, and Sutherland, to the North.

5.00We hate a great day with Kate! Her humor and knowledge made for such a fun day! We loved the beautiful scenery of the highlands and of course the castle! The distillery was a nice stop too! We would definitely recommend this tour! We had a lovely day . Kate called the rain liquid sunshine so that didn’t even bother us!

5.00Our tour guide Stuart was absolutely lovely. We appreciated the added touch of his wearing a kilt. Made for an even more authentic experience. He provided us with lots of history, stories and explanations of what we were seeing on our drive. We had fun and interesting conversations. He is an excellent driver as well. We thoroughly enjoyed all the stops and sights, the weather was perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.
Great trip of North Scotland

5.00Mike was fantastic! The van we rode in was super comfortable. Mike took good care of us and had loads of information to share with us on history, culture etc. He made sure we weren't rushed anywhere but yet he knew the schedule well enough to get us to the falcon show at Donrobin Castle on time.

5.00Great tour! Way easier to see the sights with someone who is local than with google maps and a rental car. Wonderful to know what you are looking at and why it is important. We also got excellent ideas from Lewis for the rest of our trip.
