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.

4.00Finding the starting location was poorly visible. Instructions said “post office”…NOT. Found a guide with the company name and she kindly found us our guide. Our guide was friendly, thoughtful. The Castle was most interesting. Our tour ran late all day. We nearly missed our dinner reservation.
Amazing Day!

5.00A wonderful day with June exploring the Highland area! She was a delight to listen to the history and stories regarding the area. We were a small group of 4 traveling in her car to all the sites listed in the excursion. She took care to ensure we were back to the ship on time while allowing flexibility if we wanted to shop or see more sights. Highly recommend June and Thistle Excursions anywhere the are available
Good tour

5.00Very complete tour, not much time spent in any place but it probably wasn't necessary. The guides were very capable.
