Full-Day Culloden and More Tour from Inverness or Invergordon
Overview
Travel at your own pace, enjoy plenty of photo stops, and immerse yourself in Highland life with your very own Highlander Guide in a kilt. Fancy wearing a kilt or arisaid yourself? Just let us know. Cruise guests can relax knowing we’ll ensure an on-time return to port.
Your guide brings Culloden to life through years of first-hand experience teaching Highland history and demonstrating period weapons at the battlefield. As a local Highlander, he shares the stories, traditions and clan history that shaped the Highlands. Discover Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Clava Cairns, Highland cows at a local farm, Beauly and a whisky distillery, with fascinating stories and local insight along the way.
This is a private tour for 1–7 guests. Solo travellers are welcome (2-guest minimum charge), with savings from 3 guests and the best value when all 7 seats are booked.
