Overview

The number one award winning Loch Ness Group tour from Invergordon. An elevated view of the beautiful Scottish highlands throughout tour. A spacious and luxurious bus. Beautiful scenic 1hr drive to Loch Ness. Arrival at Urquhart for opening and most importantly before it becomes super busy. A relaxing cruise on a Loch Ness with the award winning Jacobite Cruises. Enjoy a very quiet boat due to our special arrangement with Jacobite. Scenic drive through Inverness to Culloden Battlefield. Walk onto the Battlefield with tour guide Fiona with a bit of Gaelic singing along with a whisky toast. Another picturesque drive to Cawdor where you can wander the castle and gardens. You then have another beautifully scenic drive back to Invergordon going a different way than you came to take in the most of the Scottish Highlands!

All entrance fees included and paid in advance so you can walk straight into the castles without waiting around in a queue.
