Ports of Call

Inverness/Loch Ness (Invergordon), Scotland

Invergordon is a gateway to the heart of the Highlands, Scotland's northernmost district, including Loch Ness and the town of Inverness. This area of Scotland serves as the setting for many a tall tale and legend but its scenic beauty of high green hills and sparkling lochs will captivate you as well.

Loch Ness

Loch Ness is famous as the home of the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Visitors flock here to scour the dark waters for a sign of the elusive monster. The Urquhart Castle ruins stand on a rocky peninsula on the dark, moody banks of Loch Ness, and it was near here that "Nessie" was reportedly sighted in 1977.

Inverness

The bustling city of Inverness is the traditional capital of the Scottish Highlands. Ringed by hills and anchored by the sea at the northern end of Loch Ness, the strategic location of the city is marked by Inverness Castle.

Cawdor Castle

Although it was built after the time of Macbeth, Cawdor Castle has been romantically linked to the intrigue and plot of Shakespeare's play.
