Rosemarkie provides a picturesque village sea front to start this journey that then continues along a great bit of coastline in the inner Moray Firth. The trip provides some surprisingly remote paddling, an old salmon station bothy for lunch and the constant chance to enjoy a spectacular viewing of the resident Bottlenose Dolphins. Finishing with the Sutors Stacks and the lovely village of Cromarty amidst a unique backdrop of mountains and oilrigs, gives a great day out.
