Take some time to wander the halls of the historic home of the Earl of Sutherland, Chief of Clan Sutherland, and marvel at the early medieval fort, remodelled in 1835 in the iconic French styling. You’ll be able to explore the vibrant Victorian-style gardens built in the wake of the castle, or marvel at the collection of ancient Pictish stones located in the largest private collection museum in the British Isles. There’s also a chance that you’ll spot the Dunrobin Castle Falconry display, where you’ll be able to watch an aerial performance and learn about the history of the art.

During your excursion, you’ll have the option to visit the famous Glenmorangie Distillery, producer of Scotland’s best-selling single malt, for a tour and tasting. Here, you will learn about the story and history of Glenmorangie, see the bourbon casks where they mature the iconic 12-year-old single malt, and taste two of their “core expressions” range.
The tour will include plenty of refreshment breaks and photo stops, including a lunch stop in the quaint seaside town of Dornoch, which dates back to the 8th century. You’ll have time to grab a bite to eat at one of the local cafés or restaurants and explore the town’s cobbled streets and ancient cathedral.
