• Culloden Battlefield - The journey begins at Culloden Battlefield, a site of great historical significance in the UK. Here, a guide will vividly recount the events of the last pitched battle on British soil, the Jacobite uprising of 1746, during a 30-minute walking tour. Standing on the windswept moor, one can easily envision the courage, sacrifice, and sorrow that took place, with the past echoing in the silence. The landscape’s haunting beauty, coupled with its tragic history, offers a profoundly moving experience that lingers long after departure.
• Clava Cairns - Clava Cairns is an exceptionally well-preserved Bronze Age cemetery, dating back around 4,000 years. The site features a variety of intriguing structures, including passage graves, ring cairns, a kerb cairn, and atmospheric standing stones. While the history is captivating, it is also a must-visit for Outlander fans. Diana Gabaldon has referred to Clava Cairns as the “spiritual home of Craigh na Dun,” and many visitors feel as though they have stepped into the world of Claire and Jamie.
• Inverness - With its rich history, picturesque location on the River Ness, and a plethora of cozy pubs and unique shops, Inverness exudes its own special charm. Known as the capital of the Highlands, it offers a delightful blend of heritage and vibrancy. A short walk allows visitors to admire the red sandstone Inverness Castle, appreciate the beauty of St Andrew’s Cathedral, and explore the charming Victorian Market, all while enjoying the lively atmosphere of this welcoming Highland city.

Visitors will have approximately one hour to explore, with slightly less time on tours shorter than eight hours.

• Loch Ness - The next destination is the stunning Dores Beach, located on the serene south shores of Loch Ness, offering one of the most breathtaking views in the UK! Visitors can stroll along the pebbled shore and take in the magnificent panorama. If not on a Nessie-hunting expedition, resident monster hunter Steve Feltham, who has been searching for the Loch Ness Monster for over 30 years, might be encountered, offering unique souvenirs. Additionally, a traditional Scottish pub on the loch’s edge provides an opportunity to enjoy a local beer or a wee dram of whisky, subject to opening hours.
• Beauly - Efforts will be made to stop and greet the charming Highland cows during the tour, a perennial favorite! The location will vary based on the cows’ whereabouts (as they are often relocated) and the available time on the specific day, as some ships have shorter docking times than others.
