We will start of with a visit to a beautiful Castle, Cawdor Castle which is linked to Shakespeare's Macbeth, but home to the magical, fairy tale castle. It dates from the late 14th century, having been built as a private fortress by the Thanes of Cawdor, with the ancient medieval tower built around the legendary holly tree - wherever you look, Cawdor Castle is steeped in intrigue and history.
A short drive from here will take us to the famous site of the last battle fought on British soil, Culloden Battlefield for visit and lunch. Culloden Battlefield has been restored as close as possible to how it was when battle took place in April 1746. There is a fantastic state of the art visitors centre, where we have time to take in over 250yrs of history and artifacts since the Battle.
After lunch, a 5 minute drive to the Clava cairns. This is a fascinating historical place dating back to 2000BC. A Clava Cairn is a type of circular chamber tomb cairn from the Bronze Age.

5.00Dezso was fabulous! We had a great time and he was very knowledgeable about the area and history, as well as very personable. My husband was having issues with the hot,crowded tour buses for our earlier excursions on our cruise, so I found this private tour for us. We usually go with the cruise line excursions, however, with said issues, we tried this one. I am so glad we did. We were concerned as the night prior there was an article regarding some chaos at the port wigh another lines ship. He explained what had happened and gave us clear instructions how to meet him. He was personable, knowledgeable and friendly throughout the tour. My husband did not know as much of the history of the area and was greatful for the knowledge Dezso shared with us.
