Step ashore at Invergordon and journey into the heart of the Scottish Highlands on this relaxed half-day excursion. In just 30 minutes, the rolling countryside gives way to the Black Isle, home to one of the oldest working distilleries in the Highlands.
Glen Ord Distillery — home of The Singleton — is the only remaining single-malt whisky distillery on the Black Isle peninsula. Don't miss the Scotch Malt Whisky Experience here, as it explores the characteristics of Glen Ord's various profiles and reaches into the past with a walk through some age-old buildings. Enjoy a tour of the facility to learn about single malt whisky making, from malted barley to the gleaming copper stills, followed by a dram of smooth, richly crafted Scotch. Check out the shop for souvenirs and fine whiskies.
Your tour also includes a stop in the charming village of Beauly, just a short drive away. Mary, Queen of Scots, dubbed it "Beau Lieu" — meaning the beautiful place; today, the small Scottish town of Beauly is celebrated for its pretty flowers. With its handsome main square, independent shops, and the romantic ruins of Beauly Priory, it's the perfect spot to appreciate Highland village life, browse for local craftwork, or pause for a coffee (at your own expense).
Return to Invergordon with a true taste of Scotland's whisky country.
