After Dunrobin Castle we have an option of visiting
The
  
Distillery
To compliment the tour
The original distillery was first established by the Marquis of Stafford
(Duke of Sutherland)
in 1819
now called Brora, and with new
distillery
built in 1968 has taken the
original name
The visit includes a look at both
Distilleries
--------------------------------------------------------------
We then wind our way with
a scenic
drive to
"The
Falls of Shin
Visitor Centre" |
|
|
When
the glaciers melted after the last Ice Age in the UK , the Highland
landscape was formed, creating Glens and Lochs. Erosion by debris,
boulders and gravel led to the formation of the River Shin and the Falls of Shin which are a natural feature of the River, and
are next to the
visitor centre.
 
Here you can watch
from the viewing platform Atlantic Salmon
Battle to
return to their place of birth to spawn the next salmon generation. |
The visitor
centre shop has a range of superb quality local crafts
Harrods
|
Light refreshments such, morning coffee or afternoon
tea, even a full three-course meal, the restaurant is open daily
offering delicious seasonal, home made food.
And a chance to do some souvenir shopping in the
Highlands
   
Falls of Shin now "WORLD RENOWNED" Banoffee
Pie
mmmmm! and a seasonal Strawberry version, double mmmmm ! !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
We
then take the scenic route for our return, over the
summit of
"Struie Hill"
Making our way to the
The Dalmore
Distillery |
|
"Millionaires View" |
|
With
wonderful views across the water
to the mountains
of Sutherland and beyond
passing through the
award winning floral displays in the town of Alness
Arriving at the
visitors centre
for a tour and to learn the history and to see how
The Dalmore is
created
And
of course for your Wee Dram to finish your day....
