Tour Information
Loch Ness Tour including Cawdor Castle
Discover the mystery of Loch Ness, the medieval heritage of Urquhart Castle, the
bloody history of Culloden Battlefield and finish the tour with a fascinating visit
to the famous Cawdor Castle.
Our tour begins at Inverness where we take a short drive to Cawdor Castle. A beautifully kept medieval castle, rich not only in Highland history but made even more famous by Shakespeare's MacBeth (unfortunately wrongly)
From there our next stop is Culloden Battlefield to explore the bloody history surrounding Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobite supporters where they made their last stand. Only a short distance from Culloden are the Bronze Age burial cairns of Clava. These stone cairns are around 4000 years old and give us a fascinating glimpse of the very ancient past of the Highlands.
Leaving the Clava Cairns we journey 10 miles along the banks of Loch Ness before we arrive at the medieval ruins of Urquhart Castle. Here you have time to explore the castle, discover its links with so many of the important events in the history of the Highlands, and take advantage of its fantastic viewpoints looking out across Loch Ness.
After the castle we visit the picturesque village of Drumnadrochit before our return journey to Inverness takes us back via the scenic village of Beauly where we have a short stop to visit the ruins of its medieval priory.
There are cafes' and restaurants at Culloden Battlefield, Urquhart Castle and the village of Drumnadrochit, so lots of options for when and where your group has lunch and coffee stops.
