Known for
The Dalmore Distillery (maker of some of Scotland's most celebrated single malts), the Cromarty Firth, the Easter Ross farming landscape, and a Ross-shire town with world-class whisky heritage
A little history
Alness grew as a small market town serving Easter Ross. The Dalmore Distillery, founded in 1839, produces some of Scotland's most highly regarded — and expensive — single malt whiskies. The town expanded significantly in the 1970s with North Sea oil industry workers.
The Dalmore Distillery for tours — the whisky is genuinely exceptional. The Cromarty Firth for watching North Sea oil rigs and wildlife. Novar Estate walks.
