Guest Comments

'Beauly proved to be the perfect base for exploring. In an hour and 15 minutes we were a world away at Gairloch beach on the west coast. the mountains and lochs we passed on the way were breathtaking.'

'We fell in love with Cromarty on the Black Isle, like stepping back in time, and were seriously spooked by Clootie Well on the way!'

'Best wildlife moment: huge stags wading in the river at Glen Strathfarrar'
