Cromarty, poised on the tip of the Black Isle at the mouth of the Cromarty is the Highlands'' best preserved historic town. For modern travellers and holidaymakers it can provide all sorts of attractions with sandy beaches, Dolphins, restaurants, a museum, beautiful countryside, wildlife, and bird reserves of international importance. Cromarty is the ideal destination in the Highlands, whether you wish to stop, or are touring. Not really itself a Highland town, it is a convenient and beautiful centre from which to tour, being only 40 minutes drive from Inverness, the ''Capital of the Highlands''. Cromarty combines the advantages of its convenience as a base from which to travel throughout the Highlands, with an apparent detachment from the mainstream of tourist routes, giving the best of both worlds. I really did enjoy my visit and I think it will grow into an even more popular tourist place.
