Whisky Distillery Tour
Tours last for approximately 8-9 hours allowing you to maximise your time in the Highlands. Shorter tours can be organised on request should your cruise dock for less than 8 hours as can longer tours be organised should you wish to see more of Scotland.
We will depart from Invergordon’s Cruise Liner Port as close to 8am as possible, taking in the beautiful scenery of the Scottish Highlands. We like to pride ourselves on the fact we don't run to a set itinerary for the day. We have a number of highlights that we will recommend but you are in charge of the tour and you decide where to go. Naturally you will be able to stop for numerous picture opportunities and we will return to Invergordon's cruise liner port at whatever time suits you.

Dalmore
DALMORE DISTILLERY
"The Dalmore Distillery has been producing exceptional single malt whisky since 1839 and, for almost a century, was owned by the Clan Mackenzie. The clan’s defining influence on the distillery is still evident to this day, with the iconic royal stag’s antlers (taken from the Mackenzie family crest) adorning each and every bottle of The Dalmore.
Located on the northern shores of the Firth of Cromarty, deep in the spectacular Scottish Highlands, the distillery is perfectly placed to take advantage of a feast of natural resources: from the waters of Loch Morie, found high in the hills overlooking the distillery, to the golden barley of the rich coastal soils of the Black Isle."

Clynelish
CLYNELISH DISTILLERY
Clynelish Distillery is a distillery near Brora, Sutherland in the Highlands of Scotland. It was built in 1968, adjacent to the original Clynelish distillery which was closed. Confusingly the original distillery was reopened in May 1969 as and until July 1973, produced a heavily-peated whisky to supply for blending; this was done to cover a shortage of Islay whisky caused by a drought on the island. The old distillery was renamed Brora Distillery and production of a peated spirit continued up until 1983.
Clynelish has had a strong connection with Johnnie Walker blended whisky for many years. A large proportion of the spirit used in Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve comes from this distillery.

Falls of Shin
FALLS OF SHIN WATERFALLS AND SALMON LEAP
Carved from the great glaciers of the last Ice Age are the Falls of Shin, a breathtaking natural salmon leap set in the heart of the Scottish highlands.
Its mighty currents force the icy waters over ancient riverbeds creating the perfect habitat for freshwater fish such as the graceful Atlantic Salmon . Visit the Falls of Shin and see if you can catch sight of the salmon, leaping upstream to the calmer waters of their birthplace, Loch Shin, to spawn future generations.
Falls of Shin is recognised as being one of the best places in all of Scotland to watch leaping Atlantic Salmon, and the fish can be seen anytime between May and November, with the late summer months making this almost guaranteed.
"The intrinsic beauty and stark landscapes leading up to the Falls made it a natural tourist attraction, but it wasn’t until 1997 when Mr Mohamed Al-Fayed purchased it that the thought and capital were invested to transform it into a popular family destination. Its natural beauty, thrilling adventure playground, award-winning restaurant and four-star rated tourist shop (stocked with local produce and Harrods goods) have made it a winner." Alfayed.com
