From Invergordon, we proceed directly to Ardross, and take the road known locally as the Struie, over a mountain moorland to Bonar bridge.
We will stop at two viewpoints to let you take photographs of the Dornoch Firth, and the Glens beyond Bonar Bridge and Ardgay.
These will be possible the most memorable views of your visit to the Scottish Highlands.
We now continue our journey to the Falls of Shin to experience the majestic salmon leaping up the waterfall to their spawning ground.
Salmon always return to their birthplace for this event.
You will also be able to visit the restaurant and gift shop located just beside the falls before we continue our journey to Lairg.
Lairg is a very important venue for the marketing of livestock in the Highlands, and buyers travel from the  whole UK to purchase the best of the North Scottish breeds of sheep, recognised world wide for their meat quality.
Now we travel back to the coast to visit Dunrobin Castle in Golspie.
This will be the highlight of your day.
Dunrobin Castle is the residence of the Countess of Sutherland, and you will be able to join a guided tour of her home, stroll through the beautiful gardens and watch a falcon displaying its hunting techniques, along with other birds of prey. These displays usually take place around 11.30am and 2.30pm.
We recommend that you discuss your schedule with your driver at this point, as you are approx. 45minutes driving time from your ship.
If time allows or you so desire, you can visit the town of Dornoch en route, which is famous for the Cathedral and the championship Golf Course.
You also pass the Glenmorangie Distillery on your way back to the ship, and you may wish to join one of the whisky tours that take place every 30 minutes approx.
We wish you an enjoyable day.
