Loch Ness

Invergordon Shore Excursion – Whisky, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle

Step ashore in Invergordon and journey through Scotland’s stunning landscapes, history, and Whisky heritage. Visit Loch Ness, where legend meets breathtaking scenery, and explore the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle, perched on the loch’s shores.

Immerse yourself in a full Scottish Highland experience on this tour with a visit to Loch Ness and sail along its banks while you hunt for Nessie, our mysterious monster! Then take the time to explore Urquhart Castle, the ruins that sit on the banks of Loch Ness which is rich in history from the Jacobite Rebellion.

On this Highlands excursion, you will also get to taste some of the Famous Highland Malt Whiskies. The Highland Malts are characteristically heavier and drier than in other regions and may have some salty notes thanks to their proximity to the sea.

This tour is the perfect introduction to the flavours and sights of the famed Scottish Highlands.

Please Note: Minimum age to participate is 8 years old. Guests under 8 years old will not be accommodated.
