A little secret gem. Get a taxi to drop you off here and pick you up afterwards. Cosy pub interior reminiscent of older times. Settle in by the fire for a few drams or pop into the restaurant for delicious food. In the summer make use of their beautiful beer garden overlooking the Caledonian Canal

Definitely worth a visit. Park up your car and go for a wander along the shores of Loch Ness. There is also a very nice woodland walk - just follow the path. And afterwards maybe call at the Dores Inn for a coffee or hot chocolate or perhaps a nice local beer or a nip of Whisky!

Great scenery and good walks. Best of all is that visitors in August and September have a good chance of seeing the salmon leaping!

Another way to see the wildlife on the Moray firth. Take a trip on the Dolphin Spirit boat and spend an hour or so gently cruising the forth taking in the local sights and some of the wildlife on the water. Alternatively try a trip on the mischief rib - fast, exhilarating, fun and a very good chance of seeing our very own pod of bottle nose dolphins and some seals in their natural environment.
