With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Cromarty, 17 miles away, has to offer. Fort George should be toward the top of your list here. Chanonry Point Lighthouse and Fortrose Cathedral are terrific attractions too. Locals will also likely point you toward Fortrose, 19 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Fort George. (But we’re also huge fans of Chanonry Point Lighthouse and Fortrose Cathedral.)
