Getting ashore
Ships berth at Invergordon, a small Cromarty Firth port. Most visitors take a coach to Inverness or to Loch Ness.
Watch-outs
Invergordon itself is small, with few services. Highland weather is changeable, so bring waterproofs. Check the coach times for your return.
Loch Ness
Loch Ness is about 40 minutes away, with Urquhart Castle on the shore. Boat trips and cruises run from Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus.
Inverness
Inverness is the Highland capital, with the river Ness, the castle and the Victorian town centre.
Culloden and Cromarty
The Battle of Culloden battlefield is about 30 minutes away. Cromarty is a historic fishing town on the firth.
Food & shopping
Scottish food includes haggis, cullen skink, Highland beef and whisky. Pubs in Inverness are the easiest choice.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the pound sterling. Cards are accepted almost everywhere. ATMs are in Inverness and the larger towns.
Accessibility & mobility
The terminal and the shuttle are step-accessible. Urquhart Castle has steps and uneven paths. Ask your operator for accessible coaches.
