You step off the gangway with the Cromarty Firth at your back and a Highland road unfurling ahead—peat-speckled hills, tidy stone walls and the low, insistent call of skylarks. The day tour from Invergordon threads through this landscape, pausing at ruined priory walls, peat-dark loch shores and ceremonial stones that predate recorded history.
