Dunrobin Castle & Sutherland Coast Tour
A fairy-tale castle, a falconry display and a stretch of Highland coastline that most day-trippers from Inverness never reach.

Your Day
Pickup point — usually your hotel or a central spot in Inverness (exact point to be discussed when you book)
Struie viewpoint — a sweeping stop over the Dornoch Firth on the way north
Dunrobin Castle — the largest house in the Northern Highlands, with formal gardens and a falconry display
Falconry display — seasonal flying displays in the castle grounds — a highlight for kids and adults alike
Royal Dornoch — a handsome cathedral town with a good coffee stop
Glenmorangie Distillery or Falls of Shin — a choice of a distillery stop or a woodland waterfall walk on the way back
Route follows the actual road north to Dunrobin, and back to Inverness. Order and exact stops can flex on the day.

Good To Know
One of the most-requested castle tours in the Highlands, and one of the few day trips that reaches Sutherland
Falconry display times are seasonal — I'll time the day around them where possible
A genuinely different landscape to the classic Loch Ness/Glencoe routes
Pairs well with an NC500 Taster Day if you want to see even more of the north coast
No — castle and garden admission is a separate ticket paid on the day. I'll factor the visit into the schedule either way.
Display times vary by season and are set by the castle, typically once or twice a day in the visitor season. I'll check current times before your visit and route the day around them.
About an hour's drive each way, plus stops — further than my closer Highland tours, which is reflected in the slightly longer day.
Of course — the distillery or waterfall stop on the way back is optional and easy to swap for extra time at Dornoch or the beach instead.
