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.

This was an amazing tour! The tour guide was so knowledgeable. He went above and beyond by walking thru the stops and giving more information. He added a stop at Robertson Farms to see highland cows! Highly recommended!

Mo and Chris were great! This is a busy excursion with lots of stops but we stayed the course and had a great time. Mo educated us from the moment we started to the moment we ended.

This was our first time in Scotland, and I am so glad we selected this tour. We truly enjoyed seeing the beautiful countryside between drop sites. Seoris, our guide, was excellent! He gave use interesting Scotland facts throughout our drive, provided a guided tour at Culloden, and gave us some personal recommendation for the rest of our stay in Inverness. Some spot were a little brief, maybe only an hour of time to explore, BUT if you are on a time crunch and wanting to see as much as possible, this is a great option! Would recommend to anyone coming to visit.

Excellent tour. Very full day. Mo was incredibly knowledgeable and cheerful and helpful. We enjoyed hearing all of her stories. Chris was a wonderful bus driver. Always had our safety in mind and drove extremely well. We wished we had more time at the castle but understood that it was a packed itinerary. We loved everything we saw and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
