Tour Itinerary
Travel from our pick-up point through the heart of Inverness 1 hour 30 minutes
Travel from our pick-up point through the heart of Inverness. Hear about the early beginnings of the town of Inverness to the city it is today. Heading east you will take a moving trip to the last pitched battleground on mainland Britain, Culloden Battlefield. This would be a walking tour of the battlefield site, sharing with you her family links to the Culloden in 1746. You will find out why there was such a devastating loss of life during the battle, causing an end to the Jacobite era. There is also a visitor center, cafe, and shop for you to explore. Culloden was featured in the Outlander books and TV series. If you are a fan Cath can point out the links between the two.
A short journey down into the valley behind... 30 minutes
A short journey down into the valley behind Culloden Battlefield you will visit the 4,0000-year-old chambered burial ground of Clava Cairns or Balnuaran as it is also known. There are many theories as to why the stones were positioned here. Cath will share with you some of the folklore and legends of the place. The cairns were the original stones that became Craigh Na Dun in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series of books and TV shows.

From there, we head to Elgin, a town rich in medieval history. The highlight here is Elgin Cathedral, often called the ‘Lantern of the North.’ Even in ruins, this cathedral remains one of Scotland’s most breathtaking medieval structures. Take a wander through its towering arches and soak in its dramatic history. Stop for a light lunch.
No Highland tour would be complete without a... 2 hours
No Highland tour would be complete without a dram of whisky, so we make our way into Speyside, Scotland’s premier whisky region. The region is home to some of the world’s best-known distilleries, including Glenfiddich, Cardhu, and Aberlour. We’ll stop at your distilleries of choice, where you’ll have the chance to learn about the whisky-making process and enjoy a tasting session of the finest single malts. I would advise one whisky tour and a couple of tastings at other stops on our route.
