East Church

Reviewed By machinmad - Norwich, United Kingdom

This picturesque ramble starts by the shoreline, works past the church, with commanding views right and left to two Firths. Ignore the oil rigs. It slowly winds up hill, past a Neolithic rock hunting ground and pushes upwards quite steeply to reach a viewpoint, with one seat. Take sometime here to admire the view and look for dolphins, because this is the best viewpoint on the walk. There’s absolutely no view when you reach the small car park at the top!

Hugh Miller Museum and Birthplace Cottage

Reviewed By Lincsman

This is part of the NTS and is hidden within Cromarty itself. There are two buildings and two gardens. It gave lots of information about Hugh Miller's life (about whom we knew nothing prior to the visit!) and had rooms set up for the period he was alive. One of the gardens contained modern sculptures inspired by his work on nature, geology and fossils. The staff were friendly and helpful. Being original old homes there is no cafe, etc but plenty of choice in Cromarty.

Cromarty Courthouse

Reviewed By alanaway2016 - Evesham, United Kingdom

A very interesting museum set inside the original courthouse, the downstairs shows life and times on the black isle, the upstairs is the court room and a mock trial in progress, very funny as the characters were wearing PPE. There are also cells to see and a small shop. The staff were very friendly and informative. Free entry but a donation is welcome.
