What To Expect
Wardlaw Mausoleum
Wardlaw Mausoleum was built in 1634 as the burial place of the Frasers (Clan) of Lovat. It is in Kirkhill, Highland, Scotland, 8 miles west of Inverness.
Urquhart Castle
Once one of Scotland’s largest castles, Urquhart saw great conflict during its 500 years as a medieval fortress. Control of the castle passed back and forth between the Scots and English during the Wars of Independence. The power struggles continued, as the Lords of the Isles regularly raided both castle and glen up until the 1500s. The last of the government troops garrisoned here during the Jacobite Risings blew up the castle when they left. Urquhart’s iconic ruins remain, offering glimpses into medieval times and the lives of its noble residents.

5.00This experience will teach you the history of Scotland while providing a fun experience. George did an amazing job explaining the significance of each site and really helped us to understand the history and appreciate the sacrifices people have made in search of freedom . He was funny and answered all of our questions, and did not laugh at our dumb questions. At no point did we feel rushed which allowed us to take each experience in fully. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and he is a great storyteller. By the end of the tour we felt like we were part of his family as he took great care to make sure we had a great time. I would recommend this tour to everyone, you will not regret it. I would definitely book other tours with him when I return. Be prepared to walk and dress appropriately as you are outdoors for extended periods of time.
George was very kind,...

4.00George was very kind, started perfectly on time, and overall the tour was great! It was based on Outlander and historic Scottish sites, and since it was just my husband and me, it felt like a private and personalized experience. We started with the beautiful Hairy Coos at Robertson Farm, then visited Beauly Priory and Wardlaw Mausoleum in Kirkhill, where George explained everything in detail — both historical facts and Outlander references. Along the way, he made short stops to show us interesting historical spots. The itinerary mentioned 1.5 hours at Urquhart Castle and 30 minutes at Great Glen Distillery. I thought we would visit Urquhart Castle inside, but we only stopped for about 5–6 minutes on the roadside to take photos. As for Great Glen Distillery, we were not informed that we wouldn’t be visiting it. Around 11:50 a.m., George kindly took us to the Victorian Market in Inverness for lunch, where we had about one hour to eat and explore local spots he recommended. In the afternoon, we visited Culloden House, Clava Cairns, and Culloden Moor. The entry fee at Culloden was £12.50 per person, but they charged us £33 as a family — I’m not sure why. The battlefield tour lasts about one hour, so dress warmly, as it’s very windy out there! We arrived back in Inverness around 4:20 p.m. George was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable — I truly appreciated his explanations about both Scottish history and Outlander filming sites.
Fun day with George

5.00Great day in scotland! George was so good and told us alot about Scottish history. It was just my wife and I on the tour so it was great getting to talk to each other throughout the day. I would recommend this tour to anyone making a trip to Inverness.
A wonderful day well spent, highly recommend this for outlander fans.

5.00George, our tour guide gave a wonderful day. Not only did we see the sites referenced in the show (Outlander), we learned the true significance of these locations. We also made stops at clan graveyards for both Mackenzie and Fraser and George explained much of these family's histories and how they relate to the show. We also got to see beautiful countryside and visited a farm for close-up photos with a couple of highland cows, but no, Nessie didn't make herself seen when we stopped at Loch Ness.
We loved this experience....

5.00George was the most incredible tour guide! This was the best of all the tours I have taken! He normally take 4-6 people but still took us even though it was just my husband and I. He was very knowledgeable and took us to places I would have never found or known about! Such a fun day!
Beautiful countryside but could have seen more. Saw too much of his personal life as we travelled through the towns

Fascinating Outlander Tour!

5.00This Outlander Tour was one of the highlights of my trip! George was great! We saw so many Outlander related locations, and he took us to out-of-the-way places that I'm sure you couldn't find on any other tour! What a full day of exciting experiences that any Outlander fan or Scotland history buff would revel in! I highly recommend this tour!

5.00Clan Tours run by George was an excellent day filled with numerous stops where George told us the history of each location while also having a great sense of humour. He took us to so many sites related to the Outlander series, I would definitely recommend this excursion to anybody.

5.00We just finished this tour with George today and it was AWESOME. He took us everywhere and had so many points of interest about areas where Outlander was filmed and historical places. He walked us around Clava Cairns and told us all about it, had a lot of knowledge to impart on us. I would recommend Clan Tours to anybody wanting a tour full of original sites and with a driver such as George that had so much personality and humour. It was our last day in Inverness and though it rained most of the day, it was one of my favourite things about this trip.
