Overview

This tour includes a bit of everything that makes Scotland incredible - stunning highland views, ancient legends, quaint towns, mysterious lochs, castles, and Scottish hospitality. You'll get an insight into highland culture and Scotland's long rich history, encounter local people who make the highlands their home, and also have time to do some browsing and shopping of your own on a small private group tour (which can be personalised). The trip length includes travel time as well as stops in all the location - this is a full day excursion. We also offer multi day tours across Scotland and beyond!

What to expect

  1. Doune Castle
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Doune Castle is one of our most well-preserved residential castles - you'll have time to explore the castle using an audio-guide and hear all about the home of the Duke of Albany as well as the castle's role in Outlander and Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  2. 1h 30m
    This gorgeous Victoria-era highland town has lots of shops and we'll stop for a cup of tea (or other warm drink!) and a scone at a great cafe. You'll have free time to explore Pitlochry at your leisure.
  3. The Hermitage
    30m
    This magical forest has some of Scotland's tallest tree (and maybe a faerie or two!). We'll take a short woodland walk to a beautiful waterfall here.
  4. Inverness
    1h 30m
    You will have free time to explore the shops and cafes of Inverness (and grab some food before our journey back)
  5. Culloden Battlefield
    30m
    Culloden is the site of the last battle ever fought on British soil itself and it ended the Jacobite rebellion with huge consequences for Scottish history and culture. We'll take in the battlefield and learn a bit about this unfortunate battle.
  6. Clava Cairns
    30m
    We will encounter 4000 year old standing stones - older than Egypt's pyramids! These stones have inspired people for centuries and even if you're not an Outlander fan, you'll be amazed by these stones which have stood for thousands of years, witnessing battles and massive changes across Scotland
  7. Loch Ness
    30m
    Scotland's deepest (and possibly most mysterious) loch which may hold a monster within in! We'll hear the tale of the Loch Ness monster and you'll be able to dip your feet in its murky waters
