The friendly village of Invergordon is your gateway to the Scottish Highlands. Visit Cawdor Castle, built in the 14th century and considered one of the most stately homes in the Highlands. The founding family, the Thanes of Cawdor, live there to this day. Next up is Dunrobin Castle, the ancestral home of the Clan Sutherland and one of the oldest inhabited houses in Scotland, featuring stunning formal gardens that run down to the sea. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a boat trip on Loch Ness, one of Scotland’s largest lochs, where the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has persisted since 565 AD.
