Inverness to Edinburgh

Culloden Battlefield - After being picked up from your accommodation, it’s a short drive to Culloden Moor, where the Jacobites were ultimately defeated by government forces in 1746, marking the last battle on British soil.

Take time to walk the battlefield and learn more about this tragic event that claimed the lives of 700 Highland clansmen in just three minutes.

Clava Cairns - Explore one of Scotland’s most evocative and sacred prehistoric sites, the 4000-year-old stone circles and burial mounds at Clava Cairns.

Cairngorms National Park - As you travel south through the Cairngorms National Park, you’ll hear about the flora and fauna of this magnificent wilderness, officially protected in 2003 and the largest national park in the British Isles.

Ruthven Barracks - While driving through the Cairngorms National Park, you may spot Ruthven Barracks, constructed in 1719 following the 1715 Jacobite uprising.

Pitlochry - The Highland town of Pitlochry boasts an elegant main street filled with shops and restaurants. During your break here, you have the option to visit the Blair Athol Distillery (at own expense) for a guided tour and a chance to sample the ‘water of life.’
