1. 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.

The ruins of Strome Castle sit on the shores of Loch Carron directly opposite Stromeferry, and the views are fabulous in all directions. We were fortunate to visit on a quiet Sunday morning when the sun was shining and the sea was a brilliant blue. This is the sort of place where you need to bring your camera, and I bet you won’t be able to resist framing a picture with the old stone doorway - ‘cos I’m sure just about everyone does!
