PLEASE NOTE: IF BOOKING THIS TOUR FOR 2026 Note you go to the newly refurbished Inverness castle.
This tour is DIFFERENT as it takes you to the very edge of Loch Ness where you can touch it or walk in, unlike nearly every other tour company who visit Loch Ness on the steep side, only stopping in a lay-by for photos.
This bus tour from Invergordon features highlights from Outlander, Culloden, Castles, Loch Ness & Nessie! It packs in a lot for one day's tour and is very affordable and good value for money. Our website contains full details of all tours and booking.
Please check the tour times on our website, as the times listed here are approximate. As a general rule tours leave 30 minutes to 1.5 hours after the arrival of the ship and return at least 1 hour before ship departure time. Please check our website for more details.
We try to take this tour in a 4, 8 or 16 or 33 seater vehicle. Thank you

Cawdor Castle was really nice. The gardens were especially beautiful to walk around and enjoy. We didn't spend much time at Loch Ness, but there wasn't much to see anyway, no Nessie to be found. The tour guide did a nice job.

Tour was good but I have to say it was OVERPRICED!!! When comparing to other tours we did did with both you and Discover Scotland it was steep. You did include Ticket to Cawdor Castle but overall not worth the cost. More like I would have paid to Princess Cruise lines.
