Loch Ness: Urquhart Castle and Culloden Battlefield

This tour takes in all the "Must See" attractions and destinations in and around Loch Ness and Inverness. A day of historic sights, epic views, and tall tales awaits!
Allow us to collect you from your accommodation. Sit back in comfort and experience much that Loch Ness and Inverness has to offer on this fantastic private day tour.

We enjoy lovely views of the Beauly Firth as we head to Beauly Priory. Originally built in the 13th century by monks from Dijon, France, much of the main structure remains for us to explore.
There are a couple of really good coffee shops here too just incase you need a caffeine top-up after breakfast!

From here we'll head over the hill to Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy exploring this fascinating landmark whilst admiring the unrivaled views of Loch Ness.

We then drive alongside Loch Ness. Will you see the monster? We can stop to take a closer look for Nessie as we head towards Inverness.

After a brief stop to experience Dochgarroch lock on The Caledonian Canal, and perhaps even meet a few Heilan Coos (Highland Cattle), we'll pass through Old Inverness, stopping to enjoy the river and more, before going on to explore Cawdor Castle & Gardens and the 4000-year-old Clava Cairns.

Our final destination is Culloden Battlefield, the site of the last ever battle fought on British soil and where the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion came to its tragic end. Take in the very informative presentation within the visitor centre before exploring the battlefield itself. An experience which may live long in the memory.
