True Scottish Weather? Still a great time! - All though the sun was not shining had a great time with Sarah who took us to Dunrobin castle, Dornoch and more (truly appreciated the more). She pointed out sites that you might not have looked at originally.

Dunrobin and Highlands Cruise excursion. - What a fantastic excursion with Sarah and a family from our cruise ship. She was very helpful with my husband and his physical needs (walker). She was exceptionally knowledgeable of all the sites we visited and the history of Scotland. We went to a couple of lookouts and view spots that the big buses don’t do. This tour included the town of Dornoch, stopped to see the seals and the Scottish coos! We then stopped at Dunrobin Castle for 2 hours. Next we went to the Falls of Shin where we were lucky to see 3 salmon jump up over the waterfall to try and get up river to spawn. Sarah then drove us to a lookout to see the Carbisdale Castle. Driving through the Scottish highlands was such a fantastic experience and a great way to spend an afternoon. We then stopped at Struie Hill for a fabulous view of many hills and a big lake. Lastly we stopped at Dingwall to see a real Storehouse. We were lucky to have beautiful weather the entire day. Thank you Sarah.

So Much Better Than A Cruise Line Tour - We came to Invergordon on a cruise ship and their tours were sold out. Which was lucky for us - we got a fantastic tour with the three of us and two others in a 7 passenger mini-van with a guide who was Scottish and obviously loved sharing his country with people like us. He showed us things as we were driving back roads a large tour bus couldn't have taken, and even customized the tour a bit based on what we wanted to see. His stories of Dunrobin Castle, the HIghland Clearings, and how things worked politically way back when were really enlightening even though some were sad. The different lives the nobility had versus what the regular people had was certainly food for thought. All in all, an outstanding tour - Alastair was remarkable. When we got back to the ship and compared our tour to what people had who signed with the cruise line, even they agreed we had the better tour, and for less money, too.

A great small group tour - We loved this tour as it was a very small personal group and it was a little flexible in being that we were able to stop to check out extra things along the way. Our guide was very knowledgeable also.
