What to expect
Your driver meets you at the terminal and settles you into a roomy, well-appointed vehicle for the drive north. Expect rolling moorland, lochs, and sudden vistas of Dunrobin's turreted silhouette emerging from parkland. You'll pause at distillery visitor centres (tastings cost extra and require ID), wander amongst Highland cattle in their natural setting, and explore scattered archaeological remains. The Shin Falls walk involves a moderate woodland descent and a steeper return climb. Throughout, your driver adapts the route based on your energy levels and preferences. Bring waterproof layers and sturdy shoes.
