Cromarty is worth a visit and there is a good viewpoint east of the village. Udale bay on the Black Isle is an RSPB nature reserve and should be good as the tide comes in. Chanonry Point east of Fortrose is excellent for Dolphin watching. This site http://www.stylendesign.co.uk/dolphin/viewing.html says 2 hrs after low tide. However, as you only have one day I should say it is easy to spend 3 or 4 hours watching. Dave
