If you love a bit of nature spotting, then we recommend that you head down to Chanonry Point! The narrow peninsula is the perfect location to take in the beautiful views across the Moray Firth to Fort George and if you're lucky enough, you may even catch a glimpse of a dolphin or two. The best time to see these magnificent creatures is usually on a rising tide, which is 1 hour after low tide, when it turns allowing dolphins to appear and chase fish in.
Chanonry Point is located near the village of Fortrose, known for its pretty harbour, peaceful beach and beautiful ruins of an early thirteenth-century cathedral.
