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

We were fortunate enough to have Danny as our driver/guide. He was very informative and friendly. Highly recommend the tour.
Thank you Mark We really appreciate your review. Glad you enjoyed your tour with Thistle Excursions.
This was a great excursion. We got picked up from the port. Danny, our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided history of all the area we visited or passed by. He manages our time well. We didn't feel rushed. As a matter of fact because there were just 6 of us in the minivan (plenty of room) we even have extra time to walk around the beautiful city of Inverness to eat and shop. We got to see the Highland cows at Robinson's farm, which was awesome! Loch Ness was a sight to behold! The view was spectacular. The water is clear, however we didn't see " Nessie". Next stopped was the historical Culloden battlefield, we walked around the field and even have time to have lunch afterwards. Then off to Clava Cairns to see the ancient standing stone and burial cairns. Afterwards we went for a self guided tour of Cawdor Castle , we were provided with an audio device to listen to while walking inside the castle. The castle gardens are beautiful and well maintained. We had an enjoyable drive through out the beautiful countryside . Thank you Danny. No boring moment. This was one of our best Scotland excursion. I highly recommend this tour. And of course we got back to our ship with plenty of time to spare!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable day exploring the Highlands with Danny. It sounds like you managed to fit so much into your tour while still having plenty of time to enjoy each stop at a relaxed pace. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Danny — he’ll be especially pleased to hear that there was “no boring moment”! 😊 Thank you for choosing Thistle Excursions and for recommending us so highly. We hope your visit to Scotland has left you with some fantastic memories — even if Nessie did manage to hide from you! 💜🏴
Extensive tour! A long day. Small group. She added 3 extra stops! Highly recommended. Educational day
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a great day with Mo. She loves sharing her knowledge of the Highlands and, whenever time allows, adding a few extra stops along the way. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to her. Thank you for highly recommending us, and we hope you take home some fantastic memories of Scotland! 💜
Andrew was magnificent. Great presentation, lots of information, clearly passionate about Scotland Bus was comfortable
We think this is not our review as we do not have a guide called Andrew. You might been Simon?! Thank you.
New, clean comfortable bus driven excellently by our driver Jordan. Moe our tour guide provided historic-information at each of the sites we visited in Inverness and surrounding towns. Cawdor castle was a delight and comfortable trek. Many thanks to Moe to quick wit and vast information.
Thank you for your wonderful comments about Mo and Jordan. Mo has a remarkable amount of Highland history and local knowledge to share, and Jordan will be pleased to hear his driving was appreciated too. It sounds like Cawdor Castle was a particular highlight. Thank you for spending your day ashore with us!
This was a wonderful tour covering a great deal of ground and a lot of information. The guide was very knowledgeable and made schedule adaptations based on her knowledge of the traffic and the on and off rain so that we were able to enjoy the trip to the maximum.
We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable day. Highland weather certainly keeps us on our toes, so it’s lovely to hear that your guide adapted the schedule to make the very best of the changing rain and traffic. Sometimes a little flexibility makes all the difference. Thank you for joining us!
Our guide, Mo, packed in so much to 8 full hours. It was great that the group was small enough for a van and some personalization of the itinerary. All of the included sites and visits were well chosen, organized, and she was full of information and stories! The day was definitely long but we really got a wonderful sense of the region. Booking was easy, thistle was very accommodating when we needed to change the date we booked, and the tour was well worth the price! Highly recommend!
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Mo certainly knows how to fit a lot into a Highland day while still making it feel personal! We’re especially pleased you enjoyed the balance of history, stories and sightseeing, and that we could accommodate your date change. It means a lot to hear you felt the tour was worth the price.
Our guide was very knowledgeable in the history surrounding us. She was light hearted and personallble to all the guest on the bus. Hwf and the driver made the trip fun.
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your day exploring the Highlands. It’s wonderful to hear your guide’s knowledge, humour and friendly approach made the tour so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to Scotland again soon!
Absolutely loved this day. A bit pricey but a good choice for the entire day. Eleanor was our guide and was friendly and knowledgeable. The sites were great, time alloted good. Loved Cawdor Castle and gardens. Battlefield history was very interesting.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your comments about the price and are very pleased that you felt the full day was a good choice and thoroughly enjoyed it. Eleanor will be delighted to hear that her friendly manner and knowledge added to your experience. Cawdor’s beautiful gardens and the extraordinary history of Culloden make quite a contrast, so it’s lovely that both stood out for you. Thank you for joining us for the day.
Niall MacLean was our tour guide today and we couldn't have had a better guide. Well versed in history and articulate! We had the best day!! I recommend this tour for sure.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled Niall made your day so memorable. His passion for Scotland’s history and storytelling really shines through, and he’ll be delighted to hear your kind words. We hope to see you again on another Highland adventure!
