What To Expect

Clava Cairns

Our first stop will be to the Clava cairns. Clava Cairns are a well-preserved Bronze Age cemetery complex of passage graves; ring cairns, kerb cairns and standing stones in a beautiful setting. Clava Cairns or the Prehistoric Burial Cairns of Bulnuaran of Clava are a group of three Bronze Age cairns located near Inverness. A hugely significant and exceptionally well preserved prehistoric site, Clava Cairns is a fantastic example of the distant history of Highland Scotland, dating back about 4,000 years.

Culloden Battlefield

Our second stop... is a visit to the powerfully moving site of the final Jacobite Rising – the last and most harrowing pitched battle to be fought on British soil between Scotland and England. Explore the interactive visitor centre, view fascinating artefacts from both sides of the confrontation, and experience the battle in the immersive surround cinema. (Entry to this adventure is included in your ticket price) On 16 April 1746, the final Jacobite Rising came to a brutal head. Jacobite supporters, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British thrones, gathered to fight the Duke of Cumberland's government troops. It was the last pitched battle on British soil and, in less than an hour, around 1,500 men were slain – more than 1,000 of them Jacobites.

  • Superb tour with George!

    A wonderful day with George who provided the perfect mix of historical background, Scottish folklore and personal stories for each of the sites we visited. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable and made the sites really come alive! He also suggested fantastic places/poses for photographs. The van was super comfortable. He also included some stops not on the itinerary!! Such as 10 minutes visiting and feeding some Clydesdales on the side of the road. Highly recommend for the small group size as well. We did a tour on a bus, on a 16 person van and this trip with George, which was the smallest and most flexible . All in all a day well spent and well worth the money.

    Tour guide was great but hidden costs of the attractions was disappointing to say the least. Entrance fees to the various activities should be disclosed when purchasing the tour.

    Despite a huge unexpected storm the tour guide was able to reroute us so that we saw a truly delightful castle that was not on the itinerary. She was knowledgeable about Scottish history and generally a delight.
