Overview

Your guide will meet you at the port, and your Invergordon shore excursion begins. Relax in your vehicle as you drive through the tranquil port city toward historic Cawdor Castle. Dating back to the 14th century, the castle impresses with its fairytale architecture and gardens and is famously linked to Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” Continue to a traditional whisky distillery, where you’ll learn about Scotland’s national drink and enjoy a tasting (note: under-18s may not participate). Next, travel through the scenic Highlands to the legendary Loch Ness. Enjoy a photo stop on its picturesque shore and keep your camera ready for the best views. If time allows, visit Inverness, the “Capital of the Highlands,” for some leisure or a quick snack. After an unforgettable day exploring Scotland’s beauty and heritage, return comfortably to Invergordon and your cruise port.
