Travel from the 'Capital of the Highlands' and across the Black Isle to Dunrobin Castle. The lush gardens are inspired by the Palace of Versailles; the 189 rooms boast museums, ancient wardrobes, and clan artifacts; and the architecture looks beautiful from every angle. You have plenty of time to roam the grounds and soak up the history of this optional attraction.

Your lunch stop is in Dornoch. This famous Highland town is popular with golfers and is the home of an impressive cathedral.

With a full belly, it's time for a lovely journey along the coast and you take a jaunt out to Tarbat Ness Lighthouse. At the tip of the peninsula, you'll be treated to an incredible view. As you continue your coastal adventures, you may just spot a bronze mermaid and a Pictish stone. The Shandwick Stone is a meticulously carved stone slab showcasing intricate designs and revealing tales of ancient importance. So keep your eyes peeled and your driver-guide will stop when they can for further exploration!

You arrive back in Inverness in the early evening.
