Scenic Drive through the Scottish Highlands

The journey takes you through the Scottish Highlands, an area known for its rugged scenery, historic villages and Highland culture. The landscape has been shaped by centuries of farming, clan history and life around the lochs and coast. Along the route, you will pass traditional settlements and enjoy views across the Beauly Firth, a coastal inlet near Inverness where the River Beauly meets the sea. Your driver-guide will share information about the region and point out interesting sights along the way.

Loch Ness

The tour continues towards Loch Ness, one of Scotland’s most famous natural landmarks. Stretching for more than 23 miles through the Highlands, the loch reaches depths of up to 230 meters and holds the largest volume of fresh water of any lake in the UK. It is also known around the world for the legend of Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, which has been part of local folklore for centuries.

At Loch Ness, your driver-guide will take you to an accessible viewing point where you can enjoy panoramic views across the water and towards the surrounding Highland hills. Your driver-guide will also share more about the history, landscape and legends associated with the loch.

Dores Village and Dores Beach

The route continues to the peaceful village of Dores, located on the northern shore of Loch Ness. Dores is known for its views across the loch and its quieter setting away from the busier tourist areas.

At Dores Beach, you can enjoy accessible access to the shoreline and take in panoramic views across Loch Ness. The historic Dores Pier provides another viewpoint, with the surrounding hills creating an impressive Highland landscape.

Take your time to enjoy the scenery, breathe in the fresh Highland air and look across the water towards the hills surrounding Loch Ness.

After exploring Dores and enjoying the views of Loch Ness, your driver-guide will take you back through the Highland countryside to the Invergordon cruise port or your city centre accommodation.
