WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Originally a 16th century Jacobean Castle and part of the house date to this time early on various owners claimed Culloden as their home ranging form King Robert 11 to the Chieftain of the Macintosh clan. In 1625 Duncan Forbes purchased Culloden from the Macintosh Clan. Bonnie Prince Charles stayed here 3 nights prior to the battle.
2.
Clava Cairns or prehistoric burial cairns of Bulnuaran of Clava are a group of 3 bronze age cairns. A complete of passage graves, ring cairns Kerb cairns and standing stones dating back 4000 years. The largest standing stone is said to have given Diana Gabaldon’s famous Outlander novel now a popular TV series
3.
Culloden battle changed world history on the 16th April 1746. The Jacobite army fought to reclaim the throne of Britain from the Hanoverians for a Stuart King the British army was equally determined to stop this happening a ferocious European war had come to Scotland -dividing families and setting clan against clan. All went wrong for the Jacobite on 6th December in Derby 100 miles from London when an angry Bonnie Prince Charlie was persuaded to return to Scotland.
4.
The Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, as we like to call her, is one of the world’s greatest unanswered questions – but with over 1100 recorded sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, there’s no question that people are seeing something… So, just how much do we really know about Nessie and her extraordinary Loch Ness home? Well, whether you’re planning an unforgettable monster-spotting trip and excited to discover all that Loch Ness offers, or just brushing up on your monster facts, you’re in the right place!
5.
The Great Glen Distillery was established by two friends during the first lockdown of 2020. Hotelier Daniel Campbell and renowned chef Adam Dwyer built the distillery in what was Daniels late mother’s shop, in the small Highland village of Drumnadrochit. Together Daniel and Adam began tinkering with the idea of establishing a distillery that would draw its inspiration from the local area and set to work developing a recipe that used some local botanicals and water sourced from Loch Ness before refining and releasing their signature Great Glen Gin in July 2021, which takes its name from the Great Glen fault line that was created by glaciers more than 10,000 years ago.
6.
Once one of Scotland’s largest castles, Urquhart saw great conflict during its 500 years as a medieval fortress. Control of the castle passed back and forth between the Scots and English during the Wars of Independence. The power struggles continued, as the Lords of the Isles regularly raided both castle and glen up until the 1500s. The last of the government troops garrisoned here during the Jacobite Risings blew up the castle when they left. Urquhart’s iconic ruins remain, offering glimpses into medieval times and the lives of its noble residents.

We took this tour with kilted Scot, George Richie, and were completely happy with everything. He took us to all the Outlander locations including sneaking through the bushes of a graveyard and unlocking the Frazer church where we were able to go down into the crypt!! What fun! Clava Cairns was magical, Culloden and the stories of what happened there was dramatic and sad, while Loch Ness tickled a bit of mystery. George was fun and informative, and we would definitely recommend this tour.

10/10! 5 stars! We had an ‘Outlander tour’ with George and it was one of the most amazing experiences! George is so knowledgeable when it comes to Scottish history. We learned and saw SO much on this tour. If you are an Outlander fan, you HAVE to book an Outlander tour with George. I left the Highlands with so much insight and amazing memories after this tour.

10/10 recommend for anyone visiting Inverness, especially if you’re not from Scotland (we’re from the US). George efficiently covered so many things we wanted to do in one day that would have been logistically tricky for us to do being totally unfamiliar with the area. And regardless of whether or not you’re familiar with Outlander, everyone will learn a lot about the city, surrounding areas, and Scottish history.

George was so friendly and offered many opportunities to take photos along the way. Don’t be daunted by the length of the tour — he makes it so easy and relaxing by taking the stress of driving out of the equation. He also took us to beautiful places we didn’t even know existed and never would have seen otherwise. It was truly a memorable experience. Thank you for everything, George!

Very good tour. We liked it being private and could tweak it a bit for our own interest. George was a great guide.
