Overview

This is a private Highland day out designed especially for women, and always led by a female guide. It is perfect if your partner is golfing, whisky tasting, or doing a different excursion, and you would love a day that feels made for you.

It offers a relaxed alternative to busy coach tours, with time for castles, coast, boutique shopping, lunch, local treats and gentle exploring at your own pace.

From Dunrobin Castle and its falconry display to Dornoch’s cathedral, beach, Highland boutiques and Highland charm, the day is thoughtfully planned to feel safe, personal and indulgent, with a guaranteed return to Invergordon in plenty of time for your ship. We can also tailor this around Tee Times and from Dornoch or Tain if you are staying locally.

It typically takes around one hour for the ship to dock and for passengers to disembark.There are usually several guides and guests in this area, but I will be holding a board with your name for easy identification. From there, we will take a short walk of approximately 200 yards to reach the vehicle. At the end of your tour, I will drop you back at the same point, allowing you to make your way easily back to the ship.Please note that if you are arriving by cruise ship, your tour will be tailored to your ship’s schedule. We will plan to return at least one hour before the scheduled departure time to ensure a relaxed and stress free return.
