Invergordon

Invergordon · United Kingdom · 57.69, -4.17

A small port town on Scotland's Cromarty Firth. Though it has few attractions of its own, it serves as a base for excursions to Inverness, Loch Ness, and Highland distilleries. The area around the port retains the atmosphere of a quiet fishing village.
