As we cruise around Scotland, one of our ports will be in the Scottish Highlands. The port of Invergordon is said to be a small town with a big heart for cruise ships. It is home to several castles and golf courses. It is also traveling distance to Loch Ness.
A site that advertises a half day tour to Loch Ness also includes Castle Urquhart which over looks Loch Ness. I think that would be a great way to get to see the countryside and who knows maybe even Nessie, the Loch Ness monster.
The coastal area is home to bottle nosed dolphins, always a fun experience to see them but another trip that was mentioned was to the Black Isle Peninsula where there is a 17th century village. Sounds quaint and again another opportunity to get out into the countryside.
If there is enough time when we return from a half day tour, I'd love to take the hop on hop off bus around Inverness, a city just across the river from our port of Invergordon. We've always enjoyed those bus rides.
Of course it's all predicated on when we arrive and leave and what excursions we might take. Okay, I'm getting excited.
