East Church

Reviewed By machinmad - Norwich, United Kingdom

This picturesque ramble starts by the shoreline, works past the church, with commanding views right and left to two Firths. Ignore the oil rigs. It slowly winds up hill, past a Neolithic rock hunting ground and pushes upwards quite steeply to reach a viewpoint, with one seat. Take sometime here to admire the view and look for dolphins, because this is the best viewpoint on the walk. There’s absolutely no view when you reach the small car park at the top!

A lovely drive - many superb views - driving requires care - we had a war crisp day with snow and frozen waterfalls - really enjoyed it - road was quiet for us - could be a hassle if busy.- all single track - it is all sealed.

North Kessock Community Pier

North Kessock Community Pier is the only public facility suitable for small to medium boat launching in the inner Moray Firth. We recently upgraded the structure by adding a Small Boat Jetty, to greatly enhance safe access for all users, especially those with reduced mobility. This also provides an excellent viewpoint for dolphin watching and taking photographs of the firth, especially spectacular sunsets!

The Old Ticket Office

In addition to being a community hub with meeting room, The Old Ticket Office has a section detailing the history of the Kessock Ferry which operated prior to the arrival of the bridge, a coastal garden with seating and from where the wildlife can be viewed, a hydrophone to listen to sounds of the dolphins as well as public toilets.

Chanonry Point

Reviewed By ozzyfozz - Evesham, United Kingdom

A lovely place... a sand and pebble beach where you can walk along to Rosemarkie and e if you are lucky you can spot Dolphins (all year round?) and seals as well as multiple sea birds while looking over to Fort George. Also overlooked by a lighthouse. Busy at times with small carpark which gets very busy. A lovely place to spend a bit if time... dog friendly.

Hugh Miller Museum and Birthplace Cottage

Reviewed By Lincsman

This is part of the NTS and is hidden within Cromarty itself. There are two buildings and two gardens. It gave lots of information about Hugh Miller's life (about whom we knew nothing prior to the visit!) and had rooms set up for the period he was alive. One of the gardens contained modern sculptures inspired by his work on nature, geology and fossils. The staff were friendly and helpful. Being original old homes there is no cafe, etc but plenty of choice in Cromarty.

Fyrish Monument

Reviewed By EB5 - Louisville, United States

We started this trail around 8PM in June. It was steep but not bad at all. Very few people on the trail. Lovely trees and fairy like terrain. We crested the top and were treated to one of our most amazing views of the whole trip. We were able to finish before 10PM and it was still light. Loved the solitude and lovely wilderness. It is difficult to find, no signage, so take your time.
