Lots to do and see whilst staying with us

Ben Wyvis (Bheinn Uais) stands alone and indomitable to the north of Inverness. 

Its brooding slopes and high whaleback ridge are magnets for hill walkers and the dotterel, a rare migratory bird which nests in the fragile carpet moss of the summit ridge.

Alness is an attractive town that lies close to the north shore of the Cromarty Firth. 

The main A9 used to run through Alness as it followed the east coast north of Inverness, but the town was bypassed at around the same time as the new crossing of the Cromarty Firth was built, seven miles to the south west, in 1979.

The Fyrish Monument is a monument built in 1782 on Fyrish Hill, in Fyrish in Evanton, near Alness, Easter Ross, Scotland, on the orders of Sir Hector Munro, 8th of Novar, a native lord of the area who had served in India as a general

Just a short ride from the parl, the Dalmore Distillery awaits you. 

The Dalmore’s heritage dates back to 1263. It was in this year that Colin of Kintail, Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In recognition of this noble act the King granted the Mackenzie Clan the right to use the 12 pointed Royal stag emblem on their coat of arms.

Vistit the disillery to lear more and tast more too.

The Falls of Shin are famous for being one of the best places in Scotland to view salmon in their natural habitat. 

The former Falls of Shin centre, nicknamed “Harrods of the North” was destroyed by fire in May 2013. This left a huge hole in the local economy and as a leading employer a vast number of jobs were lost overnight. Following this, local charity - Kyle of Sutherland Development Trust, raised project funding to rebuild the popular attraction.

Dunrobin Castle is the most northerly of Scotland's great houses and the largest in the Northern Highlands with 189 rooms. 

Dunrobin Castle is also one of Britain's oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s, home to the Earls and later, the Dukes of Sutherland.

Situated  11 miles from Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of mainland Britain, the small coastal village of John o’ Groats is the starting point for many embarking on the famous 'End to End' journey to Land's End in England, some 876 miles away.

A journey from Black Rock to the west coast takes in Eilean Donan.  Recognised as one of the most iconic images of Scotland  all over the world. 

Placed on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish Highlands.
