Start your small-group tour Highland adventure from Inverness with jaw-dropping scenery, whisky tastings, and a chance to spot Nessie herself! First, we head to mysterious Loch Ness, where you'll hop aboard a boat to hunt for Nessie and explore the haunting ruins of Urquhart Castle - who knows what secrets it holds?
Next, it's time for a wee break in the picturesque village of Beauly. Stroll through its charming streets, visit Beauly Priory, or just grab a cuppa before the next leg of the journey. Then, we dive into Scotland's finest at a Highland whisky distillery. Sample a dram (optional, of course!) and learn all about the “water of life”, the true spirit of Scotland.
For Outlander fans, you won't want to miss our visit to Culloden Battlefield, the site of Scotland's most famous battle and the inspiration behind the beloved show. You'll feel the weight of history as you stand on this sacred ground which hosted the last of the Jacobite rebellions.
We finish with a visit to Clava Cairns, where the ancient standing stones might just send you on your own journey through time, Outlander style! Then, we make our way back to Inverness, arriving in the early evening with time to unwind and reflect on an unforgettable Highland day.
