Adventure On The Black Isle | New Coat | Dolphins | Car Breakdown

We had a great day out driving to the Black Isle. A quick stop for some shopping in Inverness, then Dolphin spotting at Chanonry Point, camp site spotting at Rosemarkie and on to Cromarty, birth place of Hugh Miller, self-taught Scottish geologist and writer, folklorist and an evangelical Christian. Then the car broke down.
The Black Isle is a peninsula in the Highlands of Scotland, located north of Inverness. Contrary to its name, the Black Isle is not an island.

    We stayed at Rosemarie twice on our Scottish tour last year (2020) and didn’t see a single dolphin. The warden said that sometimes they don’t appear for a couple of weeks then suddenly reappear, so we were unlucky and will have to go back and try again. We had a brilliant pitch on the front row over the beach, fantastic view, really quiet just the sound of the waves lapping the pebbles.

    Hi both. Thank you for a lovely vlog - a real taste of home. We were on the Black Isle in June as part of our 50th Anniversary Tour, based at the Camping and Caravanning Club site at Dingwall, which by the way , is well worth a visit. Spent time at Avoch, Rosemarkie and Cromarty and were lucky enough to have the same sort of weather as you had in the vlog - superb! Really enjoyed the video, and it revived some lovely memories of our tour this year. Will certainly go again. Glad the car issue turned out to be relatively simple to sort out. Enjoy your trip and travel safe. Cheers. George and Trish - CaravanningMacs

    Ah yes the dolphins 🐬!!! We stayed at Rosemarkie and had worked out the right tide time to see the dolphins. As I am wheelchair disabled we arrived in good time and I waited at the top of the shingle beach as the chair couldn’t venture further without sinking. However a with good view of the water. One or two people were watching out. . Then up went a shout as in the distance came the dolphins and then all these people seemed to come from nowhere charged past my wheelchair and ran to the shoreline. Lots of excitement and oooh’s and ahhh’s as the dolphins displayed in all their glory. All I could do was listen and use my imagination as to what they could see. The people were at least 5 deep and I couldn’t see round them or over them !!! 😂😂

    We have been to Rosemarkie so many times. There are a couple of negatives to be aware of, you can get a lot of joy riders driving up and down and one year we had our Electric disconnected in the night if you are on the side facing the road. Also its very windy there at times, but having said that we have had some of our best holidays there when our Daughter was young and we went with friends
