Activity itinerary

Urquhart Castle
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
We will drive from Invergordon and visit Urquhart Castle. A historic fortress located on the shore of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It holds a strategic position overlooking Loch Ness, one of Scotland's most famous lochs. The exact origins of Urquhart Castle are uncertain, but it is believed to have been built in the 13th century. The castle played a significant role in the conflicts between the Scottish clans and the English during the Wars of Scottish Independence. It changed hands several times and underwent various modifications and expansions over the centuries. Since then, it has remained in ruins but has become an iconic and popular tourist attraction due to its stunning location and association with the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. The loch itself is known worldwide for the Loch Ness Monster, often referred to as "Nessie," and many visitors come to the area in the hope of catching a glimpse of this elusive creature.
Clava Cairns
  • 30m
The Clava Cairns, also known as the Prehistoric Burial Cairns of Bulnuaran of Clava, are a group of three well-preserved Bronze Age burial cairns located near Inverness, Scotland. These cairns are estimated to be around 4,000 years old and are known for their distinctive circular structures and alignment with the solstice. The Clava Cairns consist of passage graves, which were burial chambers constructed with large stone slabs and covered with mounds of earth and stones. The cairns were used for communal burials, and they likely held both human remains and grave goods. The precise purpose and rituals associated with these burials are not fully understood, but they provide valuable insights into the prehistoric cultures of the region. It's worth noting that the Clava Cairns have gained some modern-day recognition due to their resemblance to the fictional Craigh na Dun stone circle featured in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.

Culloden Battlefield
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Culloden Battlefield is a significant historical site located near Inverness, Scotland. It is the location of the Battle of Culloden, which took place on April 16, 1746, and marked the final confrontation of the Jacobite Rising of 1745-1746. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the government forces. Visitors can also explore the battlefield itself, which has been preserved as closely as possible to its 18th-century state. There are marked trails and informative panels that guide visitors through key points of the battle, including the positions of the opposing forces and the events that unfolded during the fighting. Culloden Battlefield holds great cultural and emotional importance to many Scottish people, as it represents a pivotal moment in Scottish history and the decline of the Highland way of life. It is a solemn and reflective site where visitors can pay their respects to those who fought and lost their lives in the battle.
Beauly Priory
  • 30m
The Priory of Beauly, also known as the Beauly Priory, is a ruined medieval monastery located in the village of Beauly. Over the centuries, the priory underwent several expansions and renovations, resulting in a complex of buildings that included a church, cloister, chapter house, and other monastic structures. However, like many religious institutions in Scotland, the priory faced challenges during the Reformation in the 16th century, when Protestantism gained prominence. It was eventually abandoned and fell into ruin. It is a place where visitors can immerse themselves in Scotland's medieval past and appreciate the architectural and cultural heritage of the region.
The Singleton Distillery
  • 1h 30m
Singleton Distillery refers to multiple distilleries located in different parts of the world that produce whisky under the Singleton brand. Singleton of Glen Ord Distillery: Situated in Muir of Ord, in the Scottish Highlands, the Singleton of Glen Ord Distillery has a history dating back to 1838. It produces single malt Scotch whisky and is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Scotland. The whiskies from Glen Ord often exhibit a rich, fruity, and slightly spicy profile. Each Singleton Distillery offers guided tours and tastings for visitors to learn about the whisky-making process, the history of the distillery, and to experience the distinct flavours of their whiskies. It's worth noting that the Singleton brand is owned by the global spirits company Diageo, which operates several distilleries around the world under different brand names.
