Enjoy a relaxing drive through typical Highland scenery, with beautiful views over rivers, lochs and sea, to the prettiest town in the North Highlands -- Royal Dornoch. The town was granted Royal status in 1628 by King Charles I. Follow an exclusive guided tour of the historic 13th-century Dornoch Cathedral with its beautiful stained-glass windows. The Cathedral was chosen by Madonna and Elon Musk, among many others, for special family ceremonies.
Immerse yourself in fascinating stories of Highland life through film and folklore exhibits at Historylinks Museum. From Vikings to witchcraft, railways to golf, this five-star attraction gives a terrific insight into the lives of ordinary and not-so-ordinary Dornoch folk, such as Donald Ross and Andrew Carnegie.
Stroll through the streets of the town’s ancient and lovely sandstone buildings, with its boutique Highland clothing shops, whisky shops, and cafés. Or take a walk to the famous Royal Dornoch Links Golf course, one of the oldest and best in the world, and admire the stunning sea views of the Moray Firth coastline.
Return to your ship, driving through the rich agricultural landscapes of the “bread basket of the Highlands.”
