Explore the Pictish heritage of the Highlands on a guided tour from Inverness. Visit Fortrose Cathedral, Groam House Museum, and the Tarbat Discovery Centre.
Begin your journey by crossing the Kessock Bridge from Inverness to The Black Isle. Stop at the 13th-century Fortrose Cathedral and Chanonry Point, where you might spot dolphins.
Continue to Groam House Museum in Rosemarkie to see a collection of carved Pictish stones from the 8th century AD. Then, head to Cromarty, a charming town perfect for a brief wander and a coffee.
Board the Cromarty-Nigg ferry to explore Pictish sites and stones at Nigg, Shandwick, and Hilton of Cadboll. Enjoy a beach walk at Balintore and Hilton, and keep an eye out for mermaids. There’s a great lunch opportunity here before continuing on your journey to meet a Pictish Queen at The Tarbat Discovery Centre, Portmahomack, the epicenter of the 8th-century Pictish monastic estate.
Take a quick diversion to see Tarbat Ness lighthouse before viewing the final Pictish stone of the day, the Edderton Cross Slab.
