This is the ultimate day tour from Invergordon to Loch Ness, taking in some of the most breathtaking, historic and culturally significant sights available anywhere in Scotland. Our local guide will meet you as you disembark from your cruise ship at the port of Invergordon and take you on your own personal Highland adventure.

See the tranquil Ness Islands and St. Andrew’s Cathedral, before moving onto the historic Culloden Battlefield and the sacred site of Clava Cairns, home of the famous Outlander “cleft stone”.

Beauly Priory
We’ll start by travelling west past the town of Alness and over the Cromarty Firth towards Beauly, where we will arrive at Beauly Priory, a beautiful ancient monastery that now lies in ruins but retains an air of reverence and mystery. Beauly Priory was founded around 1230 by monks of the Valliscaulian order. They came from their mother house in Burgundy, in France, and settled beside the Beauly River, at the place where it enters the Beauly Firth. They were invited to do so by the lord, Sir John Bisset. And there their successors lived for the next 300 years, until the Protestant Reformation of 1560 brought their cloistered and contemplative life to an abrupt end. Today their legacy lives on, in their pretty, tree-fringed abbey church, roofless but otherwise largely intact. and on to loch ness 30 min drive

William-Man in a Kilt

5.00We just finished a wonderful day with William. We took the “Cruise Excursion” and our guide as promptly awaiting our arrival…imagine the “extra” experience of having a real Highlander in a kilt tour us around today. I would recommend this company specifically and William as well. If you’re an “Outlander” fan, I would strongly suggest booking with William. We had the best experience of our trip so far. We felt like VIP’s-we didn’t see another guide dressed in such a way, and also, he was the only guide who demonstrated what the Battle of Culloden looked like!Our guide couldn’t do enough for us. We will certainly give this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great day with Jim!
