Immerse yourself in the rugged landscapes of Scotland on this tour of Loch Ness and the Highlands from Inverness. Explore picturesque towns and keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and the legendary lake monster!
Loch Ness, Outlander & Highlands Tour
We'll set off to the east to visit Clava Cairn, located about a 20 minute drive away. These prehistoric manmade stone piles mark ancient burial grounds dating back to the Bronze Age and served as the inspiration for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels.
We'll then make our way to the legendary Loch Ness, home of the famous monster. As we keep your eyes peeled for Nessie, we'll hear all about the history of this mythical beast!
Our next stop will be the Glen Ord Distillery, one of the most important distilleries in the Highlands, where we'll enjoy a guided tour to discover how the popular Scotch whisky is made. After indulging in a tasting of their product, we'll make our way to Beauly, a picturesque village with strong connections to the Lovats and Frasers from Outlander. Here, you'll have thirty minutes of free time to have lunch (not included).
After lunch, we'll meet back up to visit Robertson's Farm, where we'll meet the most famous cow in the Highlands: Jamie Fraser. We'll then head over to the Black Isle, where your guide will reveal fascinating facts about the area's history and tales of witchcraft and black magic.
Continuing onwards, we'll reach Chanonry Point, where, if we're lucky, we'll be able to spot the bottlenose dolphins that inhabit the waters around this area of Scotland. We'll then make one last stop on our way back to Inverness to see the traditional Scottish fishing village of Avoch.
At around 4 pm we'll be back in Inverness.
Dolphins
As wild animals, dolphins are unpredictable. We may see more or less of them depending on sea currents, winds, weather conditions and other variables beyond our control on the day of the tour.
