Visit the famous Loch Ness and see Nessie's hometown, learn about Culloden's battle, and see St. Andrew's Cathedral on a trip around Scotland.
Tour the vast history of Scotland and take in the rolling hills, walled gardens, cathedrals, and waterways on a guided day trip from Inverness.

From your pickup in Inverness, travel towards Loch Ness, with plenty of opportunities for photos at some of the most beautiful vantage points the loch has to offer on our Loch Ness tour from Inverness.

Then, head towards the famous Urquhart Castle and its visitor centre. The castle is a truly romantic ruin, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the loch, and surrounded by waters over 600 feet deep, where the legendary Loch Ness Monster is said to make her home.

Take your time wandering the historic ruins and learn more about its amazing history, before the tour picks up again, this time towards Beauly Priory, a beautiful ancient monastery that now lies in ruins but retains an air of reverence and mystery.

Next, from Beauly Priory, take a short journey to Glen Ord Distillery, a traditional distillery that boasts its maltings and uses barley and water sourced from the local environment. Learn about the traditional distilling processes refined over hundreds of years.

Continue to Culloden, famous for the Battle of Culloden, intensively documented at the visitor centre. See artifacts, re-enactments, and talks by local historians, before heading the short distance to Clava Cairns, an ancient bronze-age cemetery.

Your next stop is Clava Cairns. This deeply sacred place within the landscape of the Highlands is steeped in history, with the first usage of the site thought to date back over 4000 years. Set within a beautiful forested area, you’ll also see the ruins of a medieval chapel here.

Finally, from Clava Cairns, it is just a short drive towards Cawdor Castle. Take some time to wander the beautiful walled gardens, and woodlands while taking in the castle’s extensive history from 1180.

The tour then turns back towards Inverness, to St. Andrew’s Cathedral, a beautiful cathedral church dating back to 1869. Take some time to admire the beautiful stained glass windows and intricately carved stonework before concluding the tour at The Ness Islands and returning home.
