A Dunrobin Castle and Dornoch tour from Inverness is a classic North Highlands day. Dunrobin Castle is the historic seat of the Dukes of Sutherland, with formal gardens and falconry displays. We pick you up from Inverness (or nearby), run a full-day private tour to Dunrobin, Dornoch and optional distillery stops, then return you to Inverness at a calm pace.
The drive from Inverness to Dunrobin is roughly 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. We have time for the castle, gardens, Dornoch Cathedral and Royal Dornoch area, and optional Glenmorangie or Clynelish when you want a whisky angle. Every tour is private for your group with a dedicated driver-guide and luxury Mercedes vehicle.
This is our same core Castles & Highland History tour, with a focus on Dunrobin and Dornoch when that is your priority.
