A visit to The Singleton Distillery, on the edge of the Black Isle in the Highlands west of Inverness, is a delight to both the eye and the palate.

In the heart of the Black Isle, near the popular North Coast 500 and Inverness, the distillery re-launched in July 2022 with an exciting new look and range of tours and experiences.

5

Spending time in Inverness is at the top of every visitor’s list when they find themselves in the Highlands. Often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Highlands. This is some free time for you to explore the city, including the Castle, Victorian Market, River Ness and some shopping.

6

Reelig Glen is a narrow, steep-sided gorge, cut by the rushing waters of the Moniack. The woodland is a mixture of old conifer and broadleaved trees, but its real glory is a stand of Douglas Fir trees that are well over 100 years old. They soar above you to a height of about 170 feet (50 metres).

One old giant measured over 200 feet (64 metres) in the year 2000 – the tallest tree in Britain at the time. After a local competition, it was named Dùghall Mòr – Big Douglas!

7

Loch Ness is brimming with history, and tales of the world's shyest monster. You might just spot Nessie. But the real stars of the Loch are its castles, monuments and scenery. So all-aboard one of our cruises for a seat to one of the greatest shows on earth. You have to sail it to believe it.

8
Stop 8

Discover more than 1,000 years of stirring history centred on the Great Glen. The magnificently situated Urquhart Castle, on the shore of Loch Ness, has seen some of the most dramatic chapters in our nation’s story.

9

Great Glen is both Scotland's newest and, proudly, its smallest craft distillery. Harnessing the elements of a wild place, our smooth, earthy gin is our love letter to nature. Whether sipped by the water's edge on a summers evening or enjoyed on wintery nights by the fire, this gin is the perfect companion.
