Explore Scotland’s Highlands: Half-Day Guided Tour of Inverness, Culloden, Clava, and Historic Castles

About

Meet Cath, a friendly local and a highly experienced, qualified guide for your half-day driving tour. Discover the rich history of the Scottish Highlands as you explore iconic castles and ancient landmarks.

Before your tour, choose from one of three unforgettable destinations:

• Cawdor Castle, an enchanting 18th-century Highland castle surrounded by beautiful gardens
• Fort George, one of Europe's most impressive military fortifications
• Urquhart Castle, a majestic ruin on the shores of Loch Ness If you have specific preferences or other requests, feel free to contact me directly. (Please note: venue opening times may vary based on the season.)

You'll visit a 4,000-year-old chambered burial ground, famously featured in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, both in the books and the TV show.

The tour also includes a poignant visit to Culloden Battlefield, the site of the last pitched battle on mainland Britain. Cath, with personal family ties to the 1746 Battle of Culloden, will lead you on a walking tour of the battlefield, shedding light on why this conflict marked such a tragic end to the Jacobite rising. You’ll also have time to explore the visitor center, café, and shop at your own pace.
