Your Itinerary

Clava Cairns

Stones that date back around 4000 years (yes 4000) thats older than the pyramids... Touch the biggest one... thats what Claire did! I dare you :)

Culloden Battlefield

This is where series one ends... the Battle of Culloden, see the wee hoose Claire turns into a wee makeshift hospital then the lads use it to hide out. A solemn place, the last battle fought between Scots, Clans, English and even some Irish

Admission Not Included

Loch Ness

Here you will also get fabulous views of Loch Ness and have a chance to go down to it’s banks in the hope of seeing the ‘Water horse’ which so entranced Claire Randall (or Nessie, as she’s better known around these parts!)

Great Glen Distillery

At this stop we will be taking some time to taste this award winning Gin.Taking its name from the fault line that divides the Highlands, our distillery sources natural and local ingredients to give you a little taste of our majestic surroundings. Great Glen is both Scotland's newest and, proudly, its smallest craft distillery. Harnessing the elements of a wild place, this smooth, earthy gin is a love letter to nature.

Urquhart Castle

Urquhart Castle is probably one of the most photographed castles in Scotland, dating from around the 13th Century (But has settlement finds on the site dating back to prehistoric times.) It's position on the Loch provides the perfect backdrop for viewing and photographing Loch Ness (with or without the monster).

Admission Not Included

Beauly Priory

The Beautiful village of Beauly was where Claire and Jamie were heading to early in season one. Beauly Priory was a Valliscaulian monastic community located at "Insula de Achenbady", now Beauly, Inverness-shire. It was probably founded around 1230. It is not known for certain who the founder was, different sources giving Alexander II of Scotland or John Byset.

Best tour and guide in our experience. George is knowledgeable in Scottish history, Outlander, Whisky, and more. A very charismatic and engaging guide. Was on time, maximized our experience at each stop and in route. He is a passionate ambassador for Scotland! Known by the locals at every stop.

Alistar Kennedy from Go Highlands tours was an excellent tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and gave wonderfully descriptive historical information at each stop. It’s fantastic to have a tour guide walk with you through every location and help with taking photos of our group. Felt very private and comfortable.

I was on a cruise and we had a stopover in Invergordon. I had a wonderful day with my guide. He took me safely to all the sites offered in the ad, and even more! His explanations were very interesting and he had answers to all my questions. I highly recommend this expedition.

I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone , I booked this bade on trust I had for viator, but I wouldn’t oil again , first driver put us in small and dark windows van then took us to residential area to pick up other people, then he didn’t do anything base on viator itineraries and missed couple of attractions, he had very thick accents and everyone had a hard time understanding him , when we complained he said original tour owner pass this to him since he didn’t have space and he owned different company , and he does what he like , I ask for refund since my day was ruined , I called viator no help
