What To Expect
Culloden Battlefield
We will travel to the Culloden Battlefield, where the Jacobites lost many a soul in the 1946 uprising. This was the last battle to be fought on British soil. If time allows we will give guests a chance to walk on the battlefield. Depending on tour we may not stop but just drive by.
Culloden Viaduct
After a half hour visit at Clava Cairns, we will pop around the corner to see the famous Culloden or Nairn viaduct, designed by Murdoch Paterson and opened as a railway crossing in 1898. It is a spectacle to behold – there will be photo opportunities.

5.00Seoris/George did an amazing job. He was so knowledgeable about the area and history. Especially Culloden! There was a stone for his ancestor. He was also kind to locate a bandaid for me.

5.00After a somewhat chaotic start, we launched off on a fun, informative day. Guide Mo was absolutely hysterical and kept the flow going well all day while Handsome John brilliantly piloted our coach thru some harrowing spots. Mo was very informative and it was a great way to see the whole region and learn about its history. It would be very helpful were the meet up site set up better, as several in our group wandered the streets of Invergordon looking for us. Each guide should be lined up w signs, with a greeting host sending us off to line up w our appointed guides. Thank you for a memorable trip!!

5.00The tour took was very nice but it took over 8 hours because we made a number of stops where some people continued to be late in returning to the bus. The tour guide and bus driver were very good.
