Description
Discover the Black Isle on a day trip from Inverness. Visit Beauly, Cromarty, and Fortrose, enjoy a brewery tour and tasting, and spot dolphins at North Kessock.
Depart from Inverness in the morning and head east towards the picturesque town of Beauly. Take time here to explore the streets, or even visit the historic Beauly Priory.
From there, head to the Clootie Well at Munlochy. Here, a goddess is said to have once lived, and by taking a scrap of cloth (or a clootie here in Scotland), dipping it in the waters of the well, and tying it to a branch of a tree, you were said to be cured of whatever illnesses plagued you.
Continue to Cromarty. Here, you will have some free time to explore the Georgian town, grab some lunch, or even take a look out over the harbor and see if you can spot some dolphins before continuing to the famous Black Isle Brewery.
During your visit to the Black Isle Brewery, have a tour and a tasting of their award-winning organic brews, as well as shop some local produce (perfect for a souvenir).
After some delicious samples, continue to the Fairy Glen in Rosemarkie. Enjoy a peaceful woodland walk that culminates in a spectacular view of the twin waterfalls. Then, visit Fortrose, where you will be able to visit the ruins of Fortrose Cathedral.
As you continue back to Inverness, your final port of call will be at North Kessock, a scenic spot on the Beauly Firth where there is another chance to spot dolphins across from Chanonry Point, and reflect on the perfect day exploring the beautiful Black Isle from Inverness.
