Dating in Dingwall and the Black Isle

A first date idea
Dolphin watching at Chanonry Point
From April to August, dolphins often come in on a rising tide to hunt salmon and sea trout, so aim to arrive from low tide onwards. Parking at the Point is very limited, so walk or cycle the mile or so from Fortrose or Rosemarkie. Bring a flask and some patience.
