Malts in Fortrose, a fireside in Cromarty.

An evening out on the Black Isle means a short drive between two old towns. On the corner of Fortrose's High Street, an inn from the 1840s keeps some 240 single malts and a huge collection of beers, with a smokehouse kitchen and traditional music on some Sunday evenings. Along the same street, a family-run café and bar pours every wine by the glass, with beer from the Black Isle and Cromarty breweries. In Cromarty itself, a friendly gastropub has a snug nook of books and armchairs by the fire. Book a table at the weekend, and choose a driver.
