Rockfield, Portmahomack, Easter Ross and Cromarty.
The path from Balintore keeps between the shore and the cliffs, where during the spring numerous seabirds can be seen nesting. The whole stretch of coast provides a good opportunity for spotting bottlenose dolphins, seals, and sometimes whales. The path becomes clearer and passes through patches of gorse. At a fence and gate cross the stile and continue straight ahead. After a while the houses of Rockfield come into view. Pass through a kissing gate to join the road at the far end of the village. The walk can be extended by following the road km to Portmahomack; turn left and then right when you reach the village to walk along the shore road, from where an infrequent bus service runs back to Balintore. An alternative and much longer extension to walk right round the Tarbat Ness peninsula, also finishing at Portmahomack
