- Clava Cairns - Stones that date back around 4000 years (yes 4000) thats older than the pyramids… Touch the biggest one… thats what Claire did! I dare you :)

- Clava Cairns - Stones that date back around 4000 years (yes 4000) thats older than the pyramids… Touch the biggest one… thats what Claire did! I dare you :)
- Culloden Battlefield - This is where series one ends… the Battle of Culloden, see the wee hoose Claire turns into a wee makeshift hospital then the lads use it to hide out. A solemn place, the last battle fought between Scots, Clans, English and even some Irish
- 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!)
-
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. - 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).
-
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.

Really great day - This was a great tour. Our guide, George, made the day fun. The small size of the group helped make the tour much more personal than the typical excursion. In addition to expanding on the Outlander connection to the sites we visited, he also provided historical context from the perspective of someone who grew up in the area and knows it well. We learned a lot about Scottish history, and George left us wanting to come back. We were lucky to have great weather. The visit to Urquhart Castle was amazing, with a breathtaking view of Loch Ness. I highly recommend!

Best Tour Guide at Invergordon/Inverness - If you don’t book this excursion, you will be missing out on the best tour guide you can have. I read the reviews and chose the tour as a result. George is the most liked tour guide I have ever seen in over 20 years of traveling. Everyone knew him, and you can tell he was well liked by everyone. His knowledge he gives you on the history of Inverness/Invergordon is the best. He explains things where you can vision what life was like centuries ago. This tour made our trip, and my family liked everything about him and this tour! Please do not book another tour. You will not get as much knowledge and humor we did! George, you’re the best and cannot thank you enough!!!

Amazing tour - This tour was fantastic. George was a wealth of knowledge about the sites we visited and the history of the clans and Scotland in general. A very entertaining day and George has a great sense of humour. Just the right amount of time at each stop. We thoroughly enjoyed.

Wrong excursion- do not recommend - The tour operator put us in the wrong van so we ended up on the wrong excursion. Bucket list locations that I’ll never have the opportunity to see again were missed. The driver then told us we weren’t missing much! We received no apology or explanation. So we paid for an excursion we did not receive. Cannot recommend- so disappointed.
