Half-day highland bucket list Tour from Inverness
Our first stop Clava Cairns is where you will find the standing stones made famous by Diana Gabaldon the author of Outlander. But what else happens at this famous site. Find out with your guide the stories and mysteries of this 4000 year old site.
We now move on to where in April 1746 on a cold wet moor by the name of Culloden, a battle took place which would change the life of the Highlanders forever. Visit where the gallant Jacobite's took on the might of King George II army.
A trip to the Highlands is never complete without visiting the most famous Loch in the world, Loch Ness. Take your camera just in case Nessie makes an unexpected appearance.
Next lets try some nessie water and taste some Gin and grab a free dram at the award winning Great Glen Distillery.
They say save the best to last and you will not be disappointed as we stop and visit the most romantic ruin in Scotland, Urquhart castle. Explore 1000 years of history.

Clava Cairns
Our first stop we find The Clava Cairns—or the Prehistoric Burial Cairns of Balnuaran of Clava—are all that remains of what was once a much larger Bronze Age burial complex. Dating back 4,000 years, the evocative cemetery site retains original features, including passage graves, standing stones, and ring cairns (stone circles).
Culloden Battlefield
Our second stop take us to Culloden moor Marking the spot of the last major battle on British soil, the wild moor at Culloden is the resting place of 1,500 Jacobite and 50 Government soldiers who fought and died here in 1746. Today, you can walk along the battle lines and see the graves of the soldiers beside the memorial cairn in the centre of the battlefield. Flags represent the front lines of both armies and show the vast scale of the battle, whilst in the centre clan markers indicate the graves of the fallen. As part of our continued conservation of the site, we work hard to try and restore the land, as closely as possible, to how it would have looked in the 18th century. Working alongside our Facilities team, we have goats and Shetland cows who graze the land just as they would have years ago. The unique landscape of Culloden is also home to a rich variety of wildlife, including skylarks (who both live and breed on the battlefield) and garden tiger moth caterpillars.

5.00Our tour guide, Richie was amazing! He knew so much about the locations we visited and delivered it all in a very perfect way. He also gave me advice on securing transportation to the airport for the next day. Without this, we may have missed our flight. The tour itself was the right length for the activities planned and it fit in well with the rest of our day. I also really appreciated the pick up at our accommodations, and the drop off of our choice. I am so glad we chose this tour.
Hope for a day with George

5.00Length of day was just right, not too taxing. Cross your fingers and hope to do a tour with George. Fantastic story teller with tidbits that can only come from a local. Clava Cairns part was the highlight due to his knowledge and passion for the highlands.
Great tour guide !

He anticipated what each of us needed along the way and we managed to see so much in a short period of time. I can't recommend him high enough! Great , great memorable day!
