Your guide will meet you at the port to begin your shore excursion in Invergordon. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive through the peaceful Scottish countryside en route to the historic Cawdor Castle, dating back to the 14th century.

Explore its elegant rooms and manicured gardens, and discover its connection to Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Next, visit a traditional whisky distillery, where a guided tour will reveal the secrets behind Scotland’s national drink, followed by a tasting.

Continue to the legendary Loch Ness, catching views of the lake and visiting the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle, perched on its shore. Take time to explore the castle and enjoy the stunning scenery—perfect for photos. If time permits, stop in Inverness for a stroll or a quick snack.
