Itinerary

Depart central Inverness and journey to the world-famous Loch Ness, where you will join a cruise to the ruins of the 13th century Urquhart Castle. Free time to enjoy lunch in one of the charming local cafés in beautiful Beauly and walk it off exploring Beauly Priory; featured in the Outlander book 'Dragonfly in Amber'. Next, we will have a Highland Whisky Experience where you can learn more about 'uisge beatha' (the 'water of life'). Local whisky experts are on hand to share their in-depth knowledge and suggest drams to sample. Whisky dram flights from £12 and whisky cocktails from £8, pay locally.

Listen to tales of the Jacobite rebellions and the brutal Battle of Culloden, on our visit to Culloden Battlefield.
