2. Chanonry Point
Jutting out into the Moray Firth, this narrow peninsula provides an ideal vantage point, especially at rising tides, when dolphins come close to shore to hunt for fish although spotting dolphins is not guaranteed. The area is also rich in history and legend, with links to the Brahan Seer, a famous Scottish prophet said to have predicted Scotland’s future. The small but picturesque lighthouse was built in 1846, which adds to the charm of the spot. Whether for wildlife watching, photography, or simply enjoying the stunning coastal scenery looking over to Fort George and the Inverness suspension bridge.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Cromarty
Cromarty is a charming seaside town on the northeastern tip of the Black Isle, it is known for its rich history, stunning coastal scenery, and well-preserved Georgian architecture. Once a thriving fishing and trading port, Cromarty retains its old-world charm with narrow winding streets, historic cottages, and a picturesque harbour. The town is closely associated with Hugh Miller, a renowned geologist, writer, and social reformer, whose former home is now a museum. Visitors can explore Cromarty Courthouse Museum. Enjoy some free time in this little spot and grab a little bite to eat if desired, before moving on.
Duration: 45 mins
4. Knockfarrel
Knockfarrel is a striking hilltop looking over the Mackenzie and Fraser Clan territory, known for its ancient Pictish hillfort and breath-taking panoramic views. This historic site offers a glimpse into Scotland’s early past, with the remnants of the fort’s defensive walls.

It can be reached by vehicle for those less mobile.

Glen Ord is the last remaining distillery on the Black Isle and are one of the very few that still malt their own barley on site. Enjoy cheeseboards and a massive range of their tastings on offer in their newly 6-million-pound internal refurb where a few of their whisky’s can only be tried in certain regions of the world or right here at this distillery.

Duration: 20 mins
7. Wardlaw Mausoleum
Wardlaw Mausoleum is a historic burial site closely linked to the Fraser clan. Built in 1634 by Lord Lovat, the mausoleum was originally intended as the final resting place for the Fraser family. The site is steeped in intrigue, with local legend suggesting that Simon Fraser, the notorious 11th Lord Lovat, familiarly known as the “Old Fox” and the last man to be publicly beheaded in Britain – may be secretly buried here rather than in the Tower of London. The mausoleum features an atmospheric crypt, beautifully carved stonework, and a peaceful churchyard, making it a fascinating stop for history enthusiasts. Today, Wardlaw Mausoleum remains an important part of Scotland’s Highland heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s past and the enduring legacy of the Fraser clan.
