Invergordon
**Invergordon** is a charming port town located on the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands. Known for its rich maritime history, it serves as a gateway to the surrounding natural beauty of the Highlands. The town is famous for its murals, which depict local history and culture, and offers a range of activities, from scenic walks along the coast to visits to nearby castles and distilleries. Invergordon is also a popular stop for cruise ships, providing visitors with a peaceful and picturesque introduction to the Highlands' rugged landscapes.
Cawdor Castle
**Cawdor Castle** is a historic fortress located near Nairn in the Scottish Highlands, famous for its connection to Shakespeare’s *Macbeth* and its picturesque setting. The castle was originally built in the 14th century, likely in 1370, and it remains the home of the Cawdor family to this day. It is a fine example of a Scottish Highland castle, showcasing a mix of medieval and Renaissance architectural styles. The castle's most famous link is with William Shakespeare's *Macbeth*, where it is mentioned as the home of the Thane of Cawdor. Though there is no historical evidence that Macbeth ever lived there, the castle’s dramatic atmosphere and rich history certainly evoke the play's themes of ambition and power.

1.00When I bought the tour, I bought it because we were going to Inverness. The tour didn't arrive; the guide had a different itinerary than the one I had. I feel really bad for not following the itinerary they sell.
Good value for money but ...

2.00Overall, good value for money but ... Firstly, Ian & Emma were great. The coach however was not. The speakers for the first four rows were not working, so any commentary could not be heard. The lack of information detracted greatly from the overall experience. Also, we were in a seat that faced backwards over a table, so even if we were able to hear any commentary, we wuld not be able to see what was being spoken about until it was too late! And as for the table itself, a great idea but it vibrated horribly and things were sliding off as a result everywhere!! Would have rated higher if we had had a forward facing seat and, more importantly, been able to hear the/any commentary. An appropriate refund for this would be welcomed as service not provided as advertised.
A nice trip

4.00The tour was good overall. The only drawback, in my opinion, was the time spent exploring the whisky factory.

5.00It was a great tour, we learned so much about this part of the Highlands. The visit of the whisky distillery was so interesting (and tasty), the castles beautiful. The bus was so comfortable! The guide Ian and the driver Emma were so nice and friendly! Absolutely recommend!
I feel cheated

2.00This was the worst excursion I have taken in 20 years of cruising. We started off by having multiple participants being given different start times. We were told 8:00 am. Other guests were told 9:00 am. So we stood around and waited for an hour. After the full group was gathered, we got to walk 1/2 a mile to where the bus was parked, nowhere near to the cruise ship. Upon entering the bus, we were told by our tour director that she was just filling in and was normally a driver. We began our drive to the scotch distillery and were treated to an hour of inane information. Mostly she just pointed out common everday locations like dog parks, sporting good stores, auto dealerships and bowling alleys. Occasionally she would point out churches and other building that looked historical, but provided no further information. She provided no history of the area or any buildings we saw. The tour of the distillery was the one redeeming stop. And it is the only reason this review is 2 stars. Our other 2 stops were Cawdor Castle and Urquhart Castle. We were told that we would need to pay additional ticket fees to enter each of the buildings. Because we had limited time, we opted to not purchase these entrance tickets in advance. But when we arrived at both locations, it became evident that we could not even see the outside of the castles without paying the entrance fees. If the entrance to the grounds is essential to a sightseeing tour, why are those prices not included in the booking cost? Do yourself a favor and book with another Viator partner.
