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 any time between May and November, with the late summer months making this almost guaranteed.

Clynelish Distillery
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.

Tain
TAIN
"Tain was granted its first royal charter in 1066, making Tain Scotland's oldest Royal Burgh,[citation needed] an event commemorated in 1966 with the opening of the Rose Garden by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The 1066 charter, granted by King Malcolm III, confirmed Tain both as a sanctuary, where people could claim the protection of the church, and an "immunity", whose resident merchants and traders were exempt from certain types of taxes."
