With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore all that Forres, 17 miles away, has to offer. Brodie Castle ought to be at the top of your list here. Dallas Dhu Historic Distillery and Suenos Stone are terrific attractions too. Don’t skip Golspie either! Just 20 miles away, Dunrobin Castle, Big Burn Walk and Golspie Golf Club are essential stops here.
