Invergordon - Highland tour number one
Description:
The fascinating and balanced Highland sightseeing tour includes most of Highland Scotland's star attractions to South State University from Invergordon:
- Invergordon. Drive along the unusual central street of the city and the short history of this port, which has long been a British naval base.
- North Sea Bays. A trip along the shore of the sea bay of the North Sea, where it is quite real to see the bent “banana” seals. The crossing of two grandiose bridges across the sea bays, directly connecting the hard-to-reach north of the Highlands with the south.
The capital of the Highlands is the city of Inverness. Acquaintance with the most interesting places of Inverness, which usually remain “overboard” sightseeing tours.
- History. From ritual circles and megalithic Neolithic to Jacobite uprisings of the 17th and 18th centuries, the last of which turned into a tragedy for the Highlands.
- Residential castles. A visit to the wonderful gardens and the “Shakespeare” castle of Codor or, if you are lucky, another medieval castle, where a real Count with his delightful Countess lives happily, the head of the Mackenzie clan.
- Loch Ness. Acquaintance with the legendary Loch Ness Lake and the northern part of the famous Calendon Canal - the genius brainchild of the great Scottish architect Thomas Telford.
- Abandoned castles. Optionally visit the majestic ruins of the ancient castle of Urquhart (Arkart) on a rocky cliff in the deepest place of Loch Ness.
- Whiskey. Optionally, a tour of the operating workshops of the Glen Ord distillery, which produces a unique single malt whiskey, which is impossible to buy either in Duty-free, in America, or in any of the countries of Europe. Under favorable circumstances, there is also the opportunity to look or even tour the shops of the well-known Dalmore distillery.
- Wildlife. A walk through the fabulous forest to the picturesque waterfalls of the Northwest Highlands, where in the season you can see huge Atlantic salmon jumping on the rapids, breaking into spawning.
- Golf. Unique terraced golf courses in a former Victorian resort on mineral waters.
- Ancient Viking capital. Return to Ivergordon through the ancient capital of the Vikings, where many amazing and even shocking events took place!
Of course, from all this diversity you will have to choose what is especially to your liking, and objective factors such as logistics and weather conditions can make adjustments. But in any case, there is something to choose from. And, as a rule, each route is unique, created by tourists themselves!
