Travel from Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands, across the Black Isle to Dunrobin Castle on this guided day trip. First, stop at Dunrobin Castle, a stately home in Sutherland, one of Britain’s oldest continuously inhabited houses dating back to the early 1300s.

Explore the French château with its fantastic gardens, 189 rooms, museums, ancient wardrobes, and clan artifacts, admiring the architecture from various angles. Get plenty of time to roam the grounds and soak up the history of this historic site.

Then, stop for lunch in Dornoch, a Highland town popular with golfers and is home to an impressive cathedral. With a full belly, it’s time to journey along the coast, where you’ll take a jaunt out to Tarbat Ness Lighthouse. At the tip of the peninsula, be treated to an incredible view.

Continuing your coastal adventure, you may just spot a bronze mermaid and a Pictish stone, so keep your eyes peeled and your driver will stop when they can for further exploration. With a small group, get more time off the bus and on the back roads. Arrive back in Inverness in the early evening.
