What To Expect
Clava Cairns
Outlander fans will love the mysterious burial chambers and standing stones at Clava Cairns. Stones that date back around 4000 years (yes 4000) thats older than the pyramids... Touch the biggest one... thats what Claire did! I dare you :)
Culloden Battlefield
Our second stop... is a visit to the powerfully moving site of the final Jacobite Rising – the last and most harrowing pitched battle to be fought on British soil between Scotland and England. Explore the interactive visitor centre, view fascinating artefacts from both sides of the confrontation, and experience the battle in the immersive surround cinema. On 16 April 1746, the final Jacobite Rising came to a brutal head. Jacobite supporters, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British thrones, gathered to fight the Duke of Cumberland's government troops. It was the last pitched battle on British soil and, in less than an hour, around 1,500 men were slain – more than 1,000 of them Jacobites.

5.00George was fabulous! So much history and insight to where we were. He brought history alive and we were immersed in each area. A local highlander, he knew it all and gave us the current and historic perspective. And what a conscientious tour guide. He found us coming out of the castle on the way to the gardens and brought us our umbrellas when a beautiful day turned rainy for a bit. The three sites were can’t miss areas, but George brought it alive like I suspect no one else could. Don’t miss this one!
Excellent tour. Our...

5.00Go Highlands provided a wonderful tour! Sarah was our guide. She is so knowledgeable about the area. She made sure we had ample time to explore the sites. She even took us to sites that were not on the itinerary. We even saw Highland cows up close!!! She was such a delight to be with all day. If we were to return to Scotland, we would definitely request Sarah to take us on more tours. Thank you, Sarah for an awesome day!
