If you are into history - the Battlefield at Drumossie Moor, better known as Culloden, is an interesting visit.

Inverness Bike Hire and a little tour down by the Caledonian Canal, that will give you a good appetite.

North Aberdeen coast is well worth visiting.

  Lots of interesting villages after Lossiemouth (free air show from the RAF base!), Cullen (home of Cullen Skink), Portsoy (location for remake of Whisky Galore) Gardenstown, Pennan (location for Local Hero).

Then the Highland wildlife park and the highland folk museum are also possibilities, both around an hour away.

Whin Park is nice to walk to & through. There's the castle not far from the river. If you've got children, there is a playpark too. I live on a Scottish island, so a highlight for my children was to go to the trampoline place & Landmark at Carrbridge (which is a very pretty area to look around). There's a wildlife park on the Black Isle & I believe you can go on dolphin spotting tours near the Moray Firth. A bigger wildlife park is bear Aviemore, with off road walking/cycling routes, etc too.

Have a great trip!
