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

Mike was friendly, professional and was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He took special care because my husband has mobility issues. He was even kind enough to return a water bottle that we left in his car.

We 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!

Our 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.

Mike 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.
