Your Itinerary

Beauly

This beautiful village is west of Inverness, with royal roots and fascinating attractions. Legends have it that visiting royalty, Mary, Queen of Scots, commented, “C’est un beau lieu” when first seeing the town, and the name “Beau Lieu” has stuck ever since!

Loch Ness

Visitors flock to Loch Ness, hoping to catch a glimpse of its elusive and eponymous monster, Loch Ness. This lake in the Scottish Highlands is worth the trip, even if you don’t believe the rumors. Vast and surrounded by magnificent Scottish scenery, Loch Ness is a popular boating and sightseeing spot.

Clava Cairns

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 its original features, including passage graves, standing stones, and ring cairns (stone circles).

Culloden Battlefield

The Culloden Battlefield was the site of one of the last battles to take place on British soil. On April 16, 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army of 5,000 Jacobite Highlanders faced off against the Duke of Cumberland and 9,000 Hanoverian government troops. Though the Jacobites fought valiantly, they were ultimately defeated, resulting in the elimination of the Scottish clan system and the suppression of Highland culture. Today, the Culloden Battlefield Visitor Center retells the events of that fateful day through interactive exhibits that put travelers in the thick of the action.

Cawdor Castle

A romantic fairy-tale castle that has been the home of the Thanes of Cawdor since 1370, Cawdor has evolved into a charming family mansion and the most outstanding of stately homes. The dramatic medieval tower, dungeon, turrets, battlements, and drawbridge belie an enchanting interior of fine art, tapestries, and furniture that create the warm and welcoming feel of a home rather than a museum. The castle, set in stunning grounds with three beautiful and varied gardens, is surrounded by the magnificent Cawdor Big Wood, one of the finest woodland areas in Europe, threaded with color-coded nature trails to explore. (Alternative of Urquhart Castle in the winter of Oct-Apr)
