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!)
30 minutes
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.
60 minutes
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).
90 minutes
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.
