Cawdor Castle, Inverness, Culloden, Outlander og Loch Ness Tour
Beskrivelse
Returrejse: Vi vil have dig tilbage til dit skib omkring 1 time før sin afgang tid. Vi kommer næsten altid tilbage før skibets egne busser. Vi er meget effektive og har gjort det i 7 år og betjener tusindvis af rejsende hver sommer. Denne bustur fra Invergordon har højdepunkter fra Outlander, Culloden, slotte, Loch Ness & Nessie! Det pakker i en masse for en dags tur og er meget overkommelig og god værdi for pengene. Indgang til slottet er inkluderet. Vores ture er specielt sat sammen efter at have modtaget feedback fra DIG. Vi har undersøgt dine ønsker og anmodninger og sat dem sammen i vores ture. Vi leverer en kvalitetsoplevelse og en Vejleder eller chauffør Vejleder på vores minibusser eller busser. Vores guider er altid fremragende. Tjek venligst turtiderne på vores hjemmeside, da de tider, der er anført her, er omtrentlige. Ankomst 15 minutter før start. Denne tur er normalt i en stor bus, medmindre det er et lille skib, så det kan være i en 8-sæder minivan.

Rejseplan
Vi rejser til Culloden slagmark, hvor jakobitterne mistede mange sjæle i oprøret i 1946. Dette var den sidste kamp, der blev udkæmpet på britisk jord. Hvis tiden tillader det, giver vi gæsterne en chance for at gå på slagmarken. Afhængig af turen stopper vi måske ikke, men bare kører forbi.
Efter en halv times besøg på Clava Cairns, vil vi pope rundt om hjørnet for at se den berømte Culloden eller Nairn viadukt, designet af Murdoch Paterson og åbnede som jernbaneovergang i 1898. Det er et skue at se - der vil være fotomuligheder.
Cawdor Castle er et levende i slot, der er skrevet om i Shakespear's MacBeth, når han refererer til Thane of Cawdor og forudsigelsen. Det har spektakulære haver og guidede lydture på dit eget sprog.
Drop af i byen for at shoppe eller se de historiske kirker og gader. Det kan variere mellem 30-90 minutter for dette stop.
Vi forlader urquhart-slottet omkring kl. 14-14.30 for at rejse via en naturskøn rute til Beauly for at køre forbi det historiske kloster, nu en ruin, bygget i 1230 af en lidet kendt fransk munkeorden. Det er også stedet, hvor Claire of Outlander berømmelse, formodes at have mødt Mairi. Det er det sande sted for gravpladsen for høvdingene fra klan Fraser, som den fiktive karakter fra Outlander, Jamie Fraser er i familie med. Hvis tiden tillader det, stopper vi.
På rejse videre gennem byen Inverness passerer vi det historiske rådhus og Inverness Castle. Der vil være fotomuligheder for slottet og Inverness Cathedral. Du vil være i stand til at besøge slottets udsigtsgalleri og butikker, caféer eller historiske barer. Billeder kun indtil 2024, da slottet er ved at blive renoveret.
Går over floden Ness til Loch Ness, hvor du skal være klar til at få øje på vores legende, Nessie, Loch Ness-uhyret. Nyd den behagelige tur ved Loch Ness, som tager kun omkring 30 minutter, på jagt efter et syn af Nessie selv. Det sidste berømte registrerede syn af hende var for et par årtier siden, men vi lever i håbet om, at hun snart vil blive fotograferet igen. Landskabet er uden sidestykke, så hav dine kameraer klar. I de seneste måneder har der været cirkuleret optagelser online af videooptagelser af et dyr, der ligner Nessie, der leger i Loch Ness. Vi stopper ved Loch Ness lay-by for billeder, men det er ikke muligt at padle i Loch Ness på grund af den stejle bjergskråning. Du rejser forbi Loch Ness i 30 minutter og nyder det og venter på et glimt af Nessie. Kør forbi i 30 minutter. Vi vil prøve at stoppe for billeder
Gå og se en lokal gårdbutik, men se mest af alt de to højlandskøer Jamie og Katie-Morag

Lorraine was fabulous. The trip was informative and very worthwhile. A great experience and highly recommended.
Gavin Fraser was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about all things Scottish. We learned a lot about the battle at Culloden, Clava Cairns and Cawdor Castle. He even wore his kilt for the tour.
Our Guide was 87 years old. A wonderful day with him! Such a personality! We are german and he spoke such an understadalbe English. A wonderful Tour. Thank you!
Thank you Seoris is a star.
Fantastic tour and wonderful operators. Our guide Eleanor was wonderful. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Maxine was very helpful as our ship was quite delayed due to a uk customs inspection.
Thank you Eleanor is a great guide.
The operators were fantastic. Our tour was delayed due to UK immigration. They were very flexible. Great communications. The tour leader Eleanor was fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable of the area.
Thank you so much Rick. You got to us in the end. Must’ve been your Scotland rugby shirt LOL.
Despite the fact that the boat was delayed, and we had to cut some destinations, which we can understand, it did not seem acceptable to us that we missed seeing Urquhart Castle, when, however, we did stop at a store to buy souvenirs because there was a hairy cow. Honestly, we found the cow thing to be a joke, and with absolutely no interest, always in comparison to the visit to the castle (which would have taken the same amount of time). On the other hand, we want to emphasize that the guide of the excursion was perfect, he attended to us magnificently well and is a very valuable person in terms of knowledge and very kind treatment! The landscapes and Cawdor Castle were fantastic, understanding that we could not stop at Culloden Battlefield, but, as we say, the part of Loch Ness was very poorly managed, because we did not even go to see the statue of Nessie (which we can understand, due to the limited time), but, absolutely, and we repeat, not stopping for 15 or 20 minutes at Urquhart seems unacceptable to us, and we demand the corresponding economic compensation for this NO VISIT, which was among the essentials of your excursion, when there was time to see and visit it, even if it had been the almost 25 minutes that we did have for the store! The excursion to Cawdor, with Culloden and Inverness, or the one to Urquhart, Loch Ness, Nessie statue, and Inverness, would have cost us, through the cruise, less than 250 euros. If we chose this one from you, it was because, in a single excursion, we visited both places, and for 327 euros (and according to what was offered, it seemed fantastic), but the truth is that one of them (the one to Urquhart and Loch Ness) was very, very, very scarce, and the reason for our complaint!, which we hope will be refunded to us, in the amount you consider or evaluate, for the part not visited! Thank you
Estimados señores, En primer lugar, ustedes no pagaron esa cantidad por la excursión. El precio abonado fue de £129 por persona. La excursión que reservaron fue nuestro tour de Castillo de Cawdor, Lago Ness y vacas de las Highlands, y ese es exactamente el tour que recibieron. En ningún momento estaba incluida una visita al Castillo de Urquhart. Nosotros nunca ofrecemos excursiones que incluyan ambos castillos, ya que simplemente no hay tiempo suficiente para hacerlo. Además, su barco llegó con retraso y los pasajeros no pudieron desembarcar a la hora prevista. Como consecuencia, tuvimos que salir a las 10:00 en lugar de las 8:30. Dado que su barco tenía prevista la salida a las 17:00, nos vimos obligados a acortar parte del itinerario para garantizar el regreso puntual de todos los pasajeros. Creemos que quizá han consultado o confundido nuestra excursión con la de otra empresa, ya que nosotros nunca hemos anunciado ni ofrecido una excursión con dos castillos. Les invitamos a revisar nuevamente la descripción del producto que reservaron o, si lo prefieren, a consultarlo directamente con Viator. Debido al retraso del barco, la operación de la excursión fue especialmente complicada y nuestro equipo hizo todo lo posible para ofrecer la mejor experiencia posible dentro de las circunstancias. La parada para ver las vacas de las Highlands es una de las más populares entre nuestros clientes. Lamentamos que no fuera de su interés. En cualquier caso, nadie estaba obligado a entrar en la pequeña tienda de productos locales de la granja; los pasajeros podían visitar las vacas o permanecer en el autobús si así lo deseaban. Nos alegra saber que apreciaron el trabajo de nuestro guía, Seoris, y que reconocen su profesionalidad, conocimientos y atención al cliente. Para futuras reservas, les recomendamos revisar detenidamente la descripción completa de la excursión para asegurarse de que cumple exactamente con sus expectativas. Por todo lo anterior, no procederemos a realizar ningún reembolso. Atentamente, Maxine Smith Directora Thistle Excursions
George was aGreat tour guide; told you what to expect at the right time & on the bus so as not to waste time. He gave us an amazing tour of Culloden with just enough historical info.
Thank you so much.
This trip was fabulous. Our tour guide, Seòras (sp? -George) McGillivry, was spectacular. At Culloden, he shared that he is a 7th generation descendant of a clansman that perished during the battle. Very informative gentleman. Great overall trip. Love those Hairy Coos!!
Thank you so much. We’re so lucky to have Seoris (George) as our guide.
We had a wonderful experience in Scotland. Where do I start? Booking through Viator and Tripadvisor was seamless thanks to the friendly staff on the phone. Upon our arrival on May 27, 2026, at the port of Invergordon, we were warmly welcomed by Danny and Maxine from Thistle Excursions. Fortunately, we were a small group with only 5 participants in total. The chemistry among us clicked immediately, so afterwards we arranged to meet daily on the AidaSol, exchanged phone numbers, and became friends :-). Danny fulfilled every wish we had during the excursion. He is very funny, and his English is very easy to understand. We laughed a lot together, so we had a wonderful 8 hours filled with a lot of input in bright sunshine. The report would become too long if I wrote about all the great details of this little adventure trip. The locations of the Outlander filming sites were magical and very emotional for Dani (the second female participant and a huge Outlander fan) and me. There was enough time to take plenty of pictures and shoot videos. We all quickly noticed that our guide Danny loves Scotland and is very proud of his country. Even during this tour, he infected us with his love for Scotland. Since then, I have been a very big fan of Scotland. The loving and friendly people and the great landscape impressed me/us very much. Danny is the best guide ever, ever, and ever!!! :-) THANK YOU for that. Scotland will definitely see us again.
Carmen Thank you so much. I’m so pleased you wrote this lovely review. Dannie’s therapy dog was so cute. I’ve out a photo of your group on my Home page website. Maxine
George Macgillivray was our tour guide and there is nothing that he doesn’t know about Scotland! He is actually a descendant of the leader of Clan Macgillivray who lost his life on the Culloden Battlefield. He gave us a wealth of information about the Jacobites and the rebellion, as well as many interesting facts about the highlands. The drive through the highlands was incredibly beautiful! We also toured Cawdor Castle and had time to explore Inverness. We had a wonderful day overall!
We’re so happy with our Seoris (George). Thank you. He is very special.
