More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned minivan into raw Highland light — peat-scented wind from the Great Glen, broad skies pressing down over low stone walls. The driver points to a weathered slab: the stone that, in the Outlander novels, sends Claire spinning two centuries into the past. For the next six hours the Highlands move around you — battlefield, castle ruins, loch shore, priory and a croft where Highland cattle chew the slow day away.

History
The route crosses ground central to 18th‑century Jacobite history (Culloden, 1746) and visits Urquhart, a 13th‑century fortress deliberately ruined to deny military use in the 17th century.
Conservation
The Highlands rely on peatland and moor restoration to reduce erosion and carbon loss; stick to paths, avoid trampling fragile turf and follow local guidance to limit visitor impact.
