The Journey
Clava Cairns
Step into the mystical world of Outlander at Clava Cairns, a collection of prehistoric standing stones and burial cairns dating back over 4,000 years. These evocative stones are rumored to be the inspiration behind Craigh na Dun in Diana Gabaldon's novels. Wander through the ancient circle, feel the weight of history, and imagine yourself transported back in time.
Culloden Battlefield
Stand on the windswept Culloden Moor, where the Jacobite rising met its tragic end on April 16, 1746. This hallowed ground marks the site of the last pitched battle fought on British soil. Explore the visitor center to learn about the events leading up to the battle, and walk the battlefield to understand the stories of the Jacobite soldiers who fought and died for their cause. The haunting atmosphere serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in Scottish history.
Cawdor Castle/Urquhart Castle
Visit the enchanting Cawdor Castle, the legendary home of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Explore its opulent interiors, wander through its meticulously manicured gardens, and immerse yourself in its rich history. (Note: From October to April, this visit may be substituted with Urquhart Castle, a dramatically situated ruin overlooking the legendary Loch Ness. Explore the castle's strategic location and imagine its storied past.)
Loch Ness
Venture to the depths of Loch Ness, Scotland's most famous lake and the legendary home of the elusive Nessie. Cruise the dark waters, scan the surface for signs of the monster, and learn about the many sightings and theories surrounding its existence. Enjoy the stunning scenery and embrace the mystique of this iconic location.
Fraser Burial Ground
Pay your respects at the ancestral burial ground of the Fraser clan. Wander amidst ancient tombstones and reflect on the enduring legacy of this proud Highland family. Discover the history and traditions of the Frasers, and feel the connection to Scotland's past.
Highland Coo Farm
Get up close and personal with Scotland's iconic Highland cattle, affectionately known as 'Hielan Coos'. Visit a working farm where you can meet Heather, Katie-Morag, and Jamie and their furry friends. Learn about their unique characteristics, snap some adorable photos, and browse the farm shop for coo-themed souvenirs.
Know Before You Go
