As well as the cruise ships and the port which you will be arriving on the Cromarty Firth river, the area is also well known in Scotland for the oil rigs, which add tonnes of value to the Scottish economy and employment across our wee nation.
The town still has a grain whisky distillery, operated by a mainstream Scottish whisky brand, Whyte & MacKay.
