The success of Diana Gabaldon’s “Outlander” novels, and the resultant TV series, has been something of a phenomenon and has brought a new focus and a virtual explosion of interest to many of the historic sites throughout Scotland. The Highlands is the centre stage of the unfolding story both in fact and the tapestry of fictional story.

What To Expect
Abertarff House
Thought to be the Town House of Lord Lovat, (Simon the Fox) the house was built in 1593, and is the oldest house in Inverness. Simon, in the context of "Outlander," would have nominally been Jamie's Grandfather. In real life, Lovat was an interesting and colourful character, the subject of the book, "The Last Highlander."
Old High St Stephen's Church
In the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden Jacobite prisoners were held in the tower of the Church. Blindfolded, they were summarily executed one by one. Since this was indeed a civil war, it was not unreasonable to believe that wounded prisoners being held at Balnain House across the river may well have witnessed brothers or other relatives being shot. You can still see the mark made by musket balls in the wall of the tower. Brutality was commonplace.

5.00We were picked up & dropped off at the cruise ship right on time. This was an amazing tour. Andrew was a great guide. He took us to all the places we wanted to see and more. He gave us a lot of information about Scotland. It is a beautiful country.

5.00Michael was our guide through the highlands. We had crazy snowy weather and we still saw all the Highlander and historic sites. Culloden and Fort George are magical covered in snow. Michael introduced us to the Harry Gow bakery and some sweet highland cows and a few alpacas too. Thank you Michael for a wonderful day.

5.00We had an amazing day. Not only did we visit sites associated with Outlander, we visited Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Scottish history and culture and even sang folk music for us. We had a perfect day.

5.00Michael was absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough great things about him. He was very knowledgeable of the area and extremely personable. The places we went in themselves were beautiful but Michael made the entire trip so much better!
Excellent all day tour!

5.00Michael was an amazing guide, his knowledge of the area was extensive and we learned a ton about Scottish history. We had so much fun exploring with him all day, and he even made some on the fly adjustments to the route so we could detour towards certain things we decided we wanted to see. Highly recommend!
