19 KM
Grade B
This is a truly fantastic trip and arguably the best that the Moray Firth has to offer. The cliffs rise up to 100m with caves, arches and hauled out seals at their feet. Troup Head itself offers the only mainland gannet colony in Scotland, and the villages on route are picturesque with small harbours and colourful houses.
