Cromarty is the perfect touring centre being on the east coast but just over an hour from the west coast.

Surrounding area: Cromarty, poised on the tip of the Black Isle at the mouth of the Cromarty Firth is the Highlands' best preserved historic town. It is a jewel, rich in history, folklore, striking veracular architecture, and grand views of seven counties from the headland above it. For modern travelers and holidaymakers it can provide a wealth of attractions: sandy beaches, unusual architecture, Bottlenose Dolphins, eating places, a multi-award winning museum, beautiful countryside, wildlife, and bird reserves of international importance, to name but a few.

Cromarty is the ideal destination in the Highlands, whether you wish to stop, or are touring. It is a convenient and beautiful centre from which to tour, being only 30 minutes drive from Inverness, the 'Capital of the Highlands'. Cromarty combines the advantages of its convenience as a base from which to travel throughout the Highlands, with an apparent detachment from the mainstream of tourist routes, giving the best of both worlds.
