• Culloden Battlefield - Visit the historic Culloden Battlefield, the site of the 1746 Jacobite uprising where many lives were lost. This was the last battle fought on British soil. If time permits, guests will have the opportunity to walk on the battlefield. Depending on the tour, there may be a drive-by instead of a stop.
• Culloden Viaduct - After a 30-minute visit to Clava Cairns, we will head to the renowned Culloden or Nairn Viaduct, designed by Murdoch Paterson and opened in 1898 as a railway crossing. It is a remarkable sight with plenty of photo opportunities.
• Cawdor Castle - Cawdor Castle, mentioned in Shakespeare’s Macbeth in reference to the Thane of Cawdor, is a lived-in castle with stunning gardens and guided audio tours available in various languages.
• Inverness - Guests will be dropped off in the city for shopping or exploring historical churches and streets, with a stop ranging from 30 to 90 minutes.
• Beauly Priory - Departing from Urquhart Castle around 2-2:30 pm, we will take a scenic route to Beauly to view the historic priory, now a ruin, built in 1230 by a lesser-known French monastic order. It is also the fictional meeting place of Claire and Mairi from Outlander and the true burial site for the chiefs of Clan Fraser, related to the fictional Jamie Fraser from Outlander. If time allows, we will stop.
• Inverness Castle - Continuing through Inverness, we will pass the historic town hall and Inverness Castle, with photo opportunities at the castle and Inverness Cathedral. Visitors can explore the castle’s viewing gallery, shops, cafes, or historic bars. Photos only until 2024 as the castle is under renovation.
• Loch Ness - Cross the River Ness to Loch Ness, where you might spot the legendary Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Enjoy a comfortable 30-minute ride along Loch Ness, hoping for a sighting of Nessie. The last famous sighting was decades ago, but recent online footage suggests a similar creature playing in Loch Ness. We will stop at the Loch Ness lay-by for photos, though paddling is not possible due to the steep hillside. Enjoy the 30-minute drive past Loch Ness, keeping an eye out for Nessie.
• Robertson’s Farm Shop Beauly - Visit a local farm shop and meet the two Highland cows, Jamie and Katie-Morag.
