Clava Cairns

The Clava Cairns are about 4,000 years old and were built to house the dead. The cemetery remained a sacred place in the landscape for millennia, and provides many clues to the beliefs of Bronze Age society. What remains today would have once been part of a larger complex. Two parts of the complex, Balnuaran of Clava and Milton of Clava, are open to the public. The sites contain a range of prehistoric burial monuments and the remains of a medieval chapel.

Culloden Battlefield

The richly researched, stimulating and sensitive Culloden Visitor Centre, which stands beside the battlefield, features artefacts from both sides of the battle and interactive displays that reveal the background to the conflict. It is both a monument and a guide to a pivotal day in history.

Admission Not Included

Cawdor Castle

Cawdor Castle is a castle in the parish of Cawdor in Nairnshire, Scotland. It is built around a 15th-century tower house, with substantial additions in later centuries. Originally a property of the Calder family, it passed to the Campbells in the 16th century. It remains in Campbell ownership, and is now home to the Dowager Countess Cawdor, stepmother of Colin Campbell, 7th Earl Cawdor. The castle is best known for its literary connection to William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth, in which the title character is made "Thane of Cawdor". However, the story is highly fictionalised, and the castle itself, which is never directly referred to in Macbeth, was built many years after the life of the 11th-century King Macbeth.

Admission Not Included

We had a WONDERFUl tour with George from Go Highlands! He picked us up (and dropped us off) at our hotel and was an amazing guide through the Highlands. It was incredible to have a true local as our guide to give us unique insights, stories, and information about the places we went. We saw Clava Cairns, Culloden, Urquhart Castle, Great Glen Gin Distillery, COOS!, and more. We will definitely book with George again when we come back. This is a day you don't want to miss, the private tour was absolutely way to go.

From the initial conversations with Alastair discussing our bespoke tour, I felt I had chosen the right company. Due to some issues with our rental car, we had to make some last minute changes to our pick up and schedule, and Alastair was very communicative and accommodating. His van was clean and comfortable. We were travelling with 3 generations (21 to 85) and he went out of his way to make sure everyone got the most out of the experience. He was very helpful with my father who has some mobility issues. Alastair is an excellent tour guide. His personal experiences, attentiveness and historical knowledge added so much to our experience. We spent a full day travelling to Beauly, Dog Falls in Glen Affric, Loch Ness with Urquhart Castle, Culloden Battlefield and the Clava Cairns. We could have driven ourselves but we would not have gotten as much from the tour without Alastair. He went out of his way to provide a great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and I would highly recommend Alastair and Go Highlands tours!

All the destinations along the trip are amazing so that much is a given, but it’s the quality and knowledgeability of the host that makes all the difference. George is an absolutely marvellous guide and I can not recommend him & his tours highly enough.
