Invergordon full day tour; Cawdor Castle, Fort George & Loch Ness
Come and explore with me on this one of a kind tour tailored to your requirements. Travel in style in my luxury Mercedes Viano and go where most other tour companies don't go such as Fort George, the Victorian Market and a secluded spot at Loch Ness to take in some of the best views of the Loch.
Cawdor castle has been described as ‘the most romantic castle in the Highlands’ and boasts stunning gardens.
Fort George is the mightiest artillery fortification in Britain. The garrison buildings, artillery defences bristling with cannon, and superb collection of arms - including bayoneted muskets, pikes, swords and ammunition pouches - provide a fascinating insight into 18th century military life.
The Victorian Market provides a wide variety of shops for both traditional and modern tastes as well as a fantastic food court which caters for all taste buds.
Loch Ness is one of the most beautiful Lochs in Scotland surrounded by the mystery and the myth of the elusive Loch Ness Monster.
