PLEASE NOTE: IF BOOKING THIS TOUR FOR 2026 cruise ship season the castle will be the newly refurbished INVERNESS CASTLE NOT CAWDOR 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

4.00It was a great day, I just wished there was more time at Culloden. I think there was more than enough time at the castle that a little time could have been shaved off. We ended up having to que at the castle because so many ships were late and there would have still been more than enough time you shave some time off that and give more time to Culloden. The tour guide was fabulous though!!
