Itinerary
The lush gardens are inspired by the Palace of Versailles; the 189 rooms boast museums, ancient wardrobes, and clan artefacts; and the architecture looks beautiful from every angle. You have plenty of time to roam the grounds and soak up the history of this optional attraction.
Your lunch stop is in Dornoch. This famous Highland town is popular with golfers and is the home of an impressive cathedral.
With a full belly, it's time for a lovely journey along the coast and you take a jaunt out to Tarbat Ness Lighthouse. At the tip of the peninsula, you'll be treated to an incredible view.
As you continue your coastal adventures, you may just spot a bronze mermaid and a Pictish stone... so keep your eyes peeled and your driver-guide will stop when they can for further exploration!

Traveler reviews
Big castle, small villages
What a great day. Deana was a great guide. You could tell that she loved leading this adventure and she had a lot of fun stories to share about the area. Dunrobin was beautiful and I can only imagine how glorious the gardens would be in the spring and summer. The little towns we stopped in along the way were quaint. I really enjoyed the lighthouse… and think the rain made it even more atmospheric. You can’t control the weather, but somehow it didn’t diminish the day.
Interesting tour
This tour is a nice way to see some interesting places that would take considerable time accessing via public transportation. Our tour guide Ellie (I'm not sure I spelled her name correctly, my apologies if I did not) was knowledgeable and fun. My primary interest at Dunrobin Castle was the gardens so l explored those first. The castle itself had more stairs than I was comfortable taking after all the stairs in the gardens. If you have limited stair climbing ability, choose your main interest first. The views of the sea and the countryside by Tarbat Ness Lighthouse are beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Rabbie's tour guides are awesome.
Great trip to see...
Great trip to see Dunrobin Castle and the surrounding area. Seana, our driver and guide was highly informative and shared local knowledge and great stories with us.
Shawna was an amazing...
Shawna was an amazing guide and driver. The fact that she grew up just down the road from Dunrobin Castle enabled her to share interesting stories both about the castle and local folklore. The castle itself was well worth seeing, and Dornoch was a lovely place for lunch. Definitely recommended.
Great Experience
The scenery was beautiful. Great guide and beautiful stops. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Plenty of time given to enjoy the sights!
