Tore is well known in modern times as the major intersection in the centre of the Black Isle. There is a major roundabout at this point on the main A9, with junctions to Inverness to the south, Muir of Ord and Dingwall to the west, the Cromarty Firth & the north, and Munlochy and the rest of the Black Isle.

What must not be overlooked is that Tore is not just a major road junction, it is a small and pretty village in it's own right. There is a picturesque hotel and Tore is a good central point to reach out to the rest of the Black Isle. Nearby, on the road to Munlochy, is the Clootie Well, where wishes and cures are granted to those who hang a rag or piece of material in the nearby tree.
