Itinerary

Loch Ness, Whisky & Outlander

Your tour departs from central Inverness and journeys to world-famous Loch Ness, where you will join a cruise to the ruins of the 13th century Urquhart Castle. Then, there’s free time to enjoy lunch in one of the charming local cafés in beautiful Beauly and walk it off exploring Beauly Priory; featured in the Outlander book 'Dragonfly in Amber'. Our next stop is a Highland whisky distillery, where you can learn about whisky and have the option to sample a wee dram in the bar. 

Listen to tales of the Jacobite rebellions and the brutal Battle of Culloden on our visit to Culloden Battlefield. Outlander fans will love the mysterious burial chambers and standing stones at Clava Cairns. When you’ve heard the harrowing history behind the Outlander story, you might not want to travel back in time to meet Jamie Fraser after all! Your Loch Ness tour comes to an end as we return to Inverness in the early evening.

Please note that during winter the tour route goes in reverse.
