We will continue driving north, towards breathtakingDunrobin Castle, passing more settings of the story on the way.
The impressive chateau-style Dunrobin castle is the largest in the northern highlands, and contains 189 rooms, with a rich collection of fine furniture, paintings, tapestries and objects d’art. The collections make for a fascinating visit, as you browse through the bedrooms, nurseries, studies and public rooms.
Following the picturesque castle visit, you’ll head towards the enchanting 12th century town of Royal Dornoch for a brief photograph stop. The town’s oldest buildings are all gathered around its spacious and beautiful square, including the impressive medieval Cathedral. This idyllic setting was the town Creagan in the story, where the characters settled into an estate house and had their many adventure.
