The area covered by Ross and Cromarty stretches from the gentle farmland of the East coast all the way to the dramatic mountains of the West. Towns include Invergordon, a popular stopping-off location for cruise liners; the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer with its grand hotels and little cafes, and Ullapool on the West coast, a picturesque fishing village that is also home to the ferry service to Stornoway in the Western Isles.
