Run by local skipper Sarah since 2004, EcoVentures offers exhilarating wildlife-watching trips aboard a custom-built RIB, Saorsa. Departing daily from Cromarty Harbour, these two-hour tours provide up-close encounters with bottlenose dolphins, seals, seabirds, and occasionally minke whales. With a maximum of 12 passengers, nature enthusiasts can enjoy a personal and informative experience, kitted out with waterproof gear and accompanied by a knowledgeable guide.
Skinnet Beach is a wide curve of honey-hued sand under big skies and with even bigger views, looking out towards the Rabbit Islands and Eilean Nan Ron (Island of the Seals). You’ll more than often have the place entirely to yourself.
Wild Gorse Studio is a leafy, light-filled corner of the Highlands where Julia’s passion for floristry meets a love of wild, foraged botanicals. Peruse the shop for plants and homeware, pick up coffee and cakes from the kitchen, or join a hands-on floral workshop if you have a morning or afternoon to fill.
