Overview
Join an unforgettable Highland adventure led by an experienced, qualified guide. Immerse yourself in history, breathtaking landscapes, and a taste of Scotland’s finest whisky, without the hassle of driving.
We begin in Inverness and start our journey to Culloden Battlefield, where the Jacobite cause met its tragic end in 1746. Walk the battlefield and explore the powerful relics that bring history to life.
Stepping back 4.000 years we visit the peaceful Clava Cairns, which Diana Gabaldon featured in her Outlander Books as Craig Na Dun.
Next, step into the elegance of Brodie Castle before discovering the medieval ruins of Elgin Cathedral, a striking remnant of Scotland’s past.
No Highland tour is complete without whisky, so we visit Speyside’s world-famous distilleries for a tour and tasting of fine single malts.
Finally, we pass the charming village of Carrbridge, home to Scotland’s oldest stone bridge, a spot to reflect on an incredible day before returning to Inverness.
