This tour takes in all the "Must See" attractions and destinations in and around Inverness. A day of historic sights, epic views and tall tales awaits! We enjoy lovely views of the Beauly Firth as we head to Beauly Priory. Originally built in the 13th century by monks from Dijon, France, much of the main structure remains. From here we'll head over the hill to Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy exploring this fascinating landmark whilst admiring the unrivalled views of Loch Ness. We then pass through Old Inverness, stopping to enjoy the river and more, before heading for Cawdor Castle & Gardens and the 4000 year old Clava Cairns. Our final destination is Culloden Battlefield, site of the last ever battle fought on British soil and where the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion came to its tragic end.

Beauly
We drive alongside the Cromarty Firth from Invergordon with views of the Beauly and Moray Firths, to Beauly Priory.
Beauly Priory
Beauly Priory is one of three priories founded in Scotland in about 1230 for monks of the Valliscaulian order. The Valliscaulians came from Val-des-Choux (‘Valley of the Cabbages’) near Dijon in France, and adhered to strict ideals of poverty, chastity and obedience. Beauly, meaning ‘beautiful place’, must have seemed to the monks a wonderful location in which to devote themselves to worship. Only the abbey church still stands today, housing some fine funerary monuments.

5.00My Family and friends booked a tour with Grant Driving Tours of Scotland for September 8, 2024. We were on a British Isles Cruise on the Regal Princess. Bill was my contact for arranging the tour, he assured me that we would have a wonderful day and not to worry. He arranged a tour of loc Ness, Urquhart Castle and Culloden Battlefield. On the day of our tour Billy our driver and guide met us at the Port at 8:30 am, and after a brief greeting we were off on our tour. Our first stop was Beauly at the Robertson Farm where we saw beautiful animals and browse in the gift shop. Next we visited the town of Beauly while he explained the history and an old historic grave site and the oldest Sycamore tree dating back to 200 hundred years old. Next we visited Urquhart Castle which was a beautiful site, we toured the ruins of the Castle learnt a lot about the history at the end of the tour we were able to watch a movie about the Castle. After the Castle he took us to the town of Inverness where we visited an old historical church walk around the town of Inverness where we could shop or just enjoy the beautiful scenery. Next Billy took us to Clava Cairns where Highlander movie was filmed we also learnt the history of the sight and about the burial chambers and what's left of the mounds of rocks. We then visited The Culloden Battlefield where Billy gave us a brief history of what took place at the battlefield. After Culloden Billy took us to the Singleton Distillery where we sampled whiskey and learnt a lot about the different types of whiskey. We all had a fantastic day out with Billy

5.00Had a fantastic day with our guide Bill for our tour. Very communicative prior to the tour. Met us as we got off our cruise ship and took us to all the tour sites along with a few others. Bill was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and shared with us his knowledge of the history of each. His insights really added to our experience by helping us understand and appreciate the many years of history of our destinations visited, especially the significance of the battle of Culloden. I would not hesitate booking this tour. All in our group thought Bill gave us the best tour we’ve had on this trip. You will not be disappointed.

5.00I don't know why you would not go here if visiting the Highlands of Scotland. The views are amazing. There is a nice little cafe where you can sit outside and take it all in and have a bite.
Great experience

5.00I would recommend without hesitation. We had a private tour for a day around Inverness (Loch Ness, Urquhart, Culloden, Beauly). Bill was great, very knowledgeable, eager to share about the region’s history and today’s reality. We learned a lot about the Scots! He took the time to show us some of his favorite pubs and around town. Thank you for a great day!

5.00My husband's ancestors were from Scotland. We contacted the guide before the tour and were able to tweak the tour to stop by several places where we walked in the footsteps of my husband's clan. Guide was personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend Grant Tours.

5.00Only a true Scot can describe what you see and, more importantly, what you don’t see. Bill’s passion and expertise made us appreciate and fall in love with the Highlands. He is personable and very accommodating. Can’t wait for our next trip here!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Bill on our full-day tour of the Inverness area. We went to the Inverness area of Scotland via cruise ship. He picked us up right on time and made sure we got back to our ship with plenty of time. He personalized our tour based on needs and preferences. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history. He took us to places that you would never see on a coach tour. One of the highlights was seeing a herd of highland cows up in the hills including a few babies. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone
