Overview

We depart Invergordon and a journey towards our first stop, Clava Cairns, a collection of mysterious stone burial cairns over 4,000 years old. The stunning highland backdrop adds to a unique and memorable start to your excursion.

Then onto Culloden Battlefield, the site of the tragic end of the 1746 Jacobite rebellion. A deeply moving experience that brings Scottish history to life. There is an entrance fee for the exhibits within the visitors centre, however, you can walk the battlefield for free.

Our next stop is Cawdor Castle which showcases beautifully maintained rooms filled with historic family treasures, antique furnishings, and artwork. The surrounding gardens offer vibrant seasonal displays and serene walks. Enjoy post-visit lunch in the castle café.

Our final destination is Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. Enjoy a leisurely walk, discover local shops, or simply take in the vibrant charm of this Highland hub. You will then take the short journey back to port.
