About This Tour
Savour the Highlands with breathtaking views, a fine dram, and moments you won’t find in any guidebook. This private tour (max. 3 guests, Balblair Distillery ADMISSION Fee of £25 NOT included) begins with panoramic vistas from Struie Hill—a hidden gem with one of the best views in the north.

At the ancient Cadboll Stone, we’ll raise a small dram in honour of the Picts, before following the coast to Balintore, where legends and heritage come alive in the striking Mermaid of the North and Salmon Sculpture.
