Dolphin Bay, on the A19 just to the north of Inverness, has a dolphin information centre with views across the Morray Firth.
Further into the Black Isle is Chanonry Point, sign posted from Fortrose; it is an excellent wind swept peninsular where dolphins and seals can be seen regularly.

Chanonry Point

Chanonry Point lies at the end of Chanonry Ness, a spit of land extending into the Morray Firth. Chanonry Point is an ideal location to enjoy superb costal scenery. With views across the Morray Firth and the bastion of Fort George.

The lighthouse on the Point was first used in 1846 and was designed by Alan Stevenson. There is an Egyptian style keepers cottage in keeping with Alan Stevenson's other lighthouses from this time.

Chanonry Point also has a memorial to the Brahan Seer who was reportedly burnt to death in a barrel of tar, for insulting the wife of Kenneth Mackenzie. However there is an alternative story that he may have been burned nearly a century earlier for participating in a murder in 1577.

The peninsula of Chanonry Point is a great point for watching the wildlife. Dolphins tend to play close to the shore, so you have a good chance of seeing them from the beach.
