๐ Village in Highland
โ
โ
Once an important port with a vital ferry link across the Cromarty Firth to all points north, Cromarty has been turned into a backwater you have to make a little effort to get to since the bypassing of almost the entire Black Isle region by the A9. Though its importance may have waned – even the ferry now only runs in high season – the village has a charming warren of narrow streets perfect for exploring, a couple of museums, and scenic coastal walks around the headland to the east. Ticking off all the above will take the best part of a day.
