Cath will fascinate you with references to Outlander along with life in 18th-century Inverness right up to the present day. Sharing stories of clan history, folklore, and legends. Step even further back in time to 565 AD and learn about St Columba’s visit to the Highlands.

5.00My parents and I had a great time with Cath! We did the half day tour of Culloden, Clava Cairns, and Cawdor Castle as our main sights. Cath was a very knowledgeable guide and sprinkled in her own personal stories from growing up in Inverness. I learned a lot about Inverness and the surrounding area - not just the history, but its present also. Would recommend Cath and her tours to anyone coming to Inverness!

5.00Fabulous walking tour no steep hills or loads of step, so suitable for all abilities. Our guide Christine was engaging, funny and very knowledgeable. Nice to get the history of the place and see all of the important sites. It is only an hour and a half but it is at a steady pace. Highly recommend this for a way to learn more about the city.

5.00Excellent tour, very informative. Note that the link to the meeting point on my iphone gave me the wrong location. Not sure where the problem originated from. The meeting place is in center of the city outside of the info center where you can get a city map.
Great tour for local flavor of Inverness!

5.00Cath’s tour was a great way to give some context to our stay in Inverness. Her stories and local knowledge were excellent. She even wove in some information about our family clans. Highly recommend!

5.00We were of course expecting Cath all dressed in red, so when Sandy arrived in his kilt it was a surprise. However not an unhappy one, he was excellent. He really brought historic Inverness to life for us. Excellent guide, highly recommended. He was also very considerate of my elderly mother's inability to walk at speed and always waited until the whole group was in place before telling us the next anecdote.
