The Redburn Cafe is a great place to eat. It is seven miles (11 Km) from Loch Ness along the road to the Isle of Skye. It is special. Run by a husband and wife team who believe passionately in value for money, superb quality food and excellent customer service. They have a cracking menu which took a great deal of thought following a lot of simply asking people what they wanted. This menu is the result of that process.

One of our favourites! The Dalmore |
Established in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, Dalmore Distillery sits on the banks of the Cromarty Firth overlooking the rich and fertile Black Isle, the "big meadowland", from which it takes its name. Pure, clean water taken from the local River Alness is used to create The Dalmore in the time-honoured way, and the small band of stillmen who run the distillery, originate from a handful of local families, who work together in creating the finest of Scotch Malt Whiskies. This experience, craft and pride in their work, ensures that Dalmore's unique character and quality never falters - it remains the classic Highland malt.
