The highlight of one of our Loch Ness tours from Inverness is a visit to the world famous Loch Ness, known for its outstanding natural beauty and Loch Ness Monster sightings. A place full of mystery, where you may just catch a glimpse of one of Scotland’s most famous residents – Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster!

Urquhart Castle

Find out some amazing Loch Ness facts and marvel at the views of the once mighty medieval stronghold, Urquhart Castle, a testament to the power of Clan Chiefs and Scottish Kings, that now stands as a majestic ruin on the banks of the Loch.

Next, the stunning Black Isle…

Black Isle

Glen Ord Distillery

We will then continue on to Black Isle’s famous Glen Ord Distillery, a distillery with almost 200 years of history and of course have a sampling of some fine single malt whisky. Glen Ord Distillery is currently the only distillery in the Black Isle and still use locally grown barley to produce the uisge beatha (meaning “water of life” in the Gaelic – whisky).

Beauly & Beauly Priory

We’ll visit burgh of Beauly, from the French “beau leau”, meaning “beautiful place”, and the name is not wrong! Enjoy a stroll through the stunning ancient ruins of Beauly Priory, or visit some of the wonderful local cafes (including an award-winning deli) and shops that this medieval burgh has to offer. Who knows, perhaps there may be a Highland Cow or two to stop and say hello to?

Visit the emotive and compelling Culloden Battlefield, and hear the chilling story of the conclusion of the Jacobite cause on the site where the last pitched battle fought on the British mainland took place. On our Culloden Battlefield Tour from Inverness you’ll be able to walk through the preserved battlefield and the modern Visitor Centre, you will learn the amazing history of the Highland Clans and the Battle of Culloden.
