Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Som du træder ind i disse gamle mure, vil du blive guidet på en fortryllende lyd rejse gennem slottets lange og berømte fortid, som strækker sig tilbage til mindst 1454. Hvert værelse hvisker om århundreder, der er gået - fra elegancen i det 16. århundredes portrætgalleri i salen, til varmen og rigdommen af det 17. århundredes flamske tapeter, der pryder et soveværelse, der engang var egnet til adel. Fine kunst, antikke skatte og de historier, de bærer, venter på dig på hver tur og inviterer dig til at forblive lidt længere. Efter turen vil du have tid til at udforske de varierede haver i dit eget tempo. Der er også to gavebutikker og et café på stedet. For WOW gæster, caféen tilbyder en praktisk pakket eller bokset frokost mulighed, som vi anbefaler, hvis du ønsker noget at tage væk til senere på dagen. Adgang og en lydguide til Cawdor Castle er inkluderet i prisen for turen.
Vores næste stop er på Culloden Battlefield, en af de vigtigste slagmarker i Storbritannien. Her vil din guide bringe landskabet til live på en 30-minutters vandretur, da han fortryller dig med historien om den sidste kamp på britisk jord; det Jacobitiske oprør i 1746. Når man står på den blæsende mølle, er det let at forestille sig modet, ofringen og hjerteskaden, der udfolder sig her, med ekkoer af fortiden i stilheden. Landskabets forfølgende skønhed kombineret med dens tragiske historie skaber en dybt rørende oplevelse, der vil forblive hos dig længe efter du forlader.
Clava Cairns er en bemærkelsesværdigt velbevaret bronzealder kirkegård, bygget for omkring 4.000 år siden. Spredt på tværs af stedet vil du finde en række fascinerende strukturer - passage grave, ring cairns, en kerb cairn og atmosfæriske stående sten. Mens historien alene gør dette til et fængslende stop, er det også et must-see for Outlander fans. Diana Gabaldon har beskrevet Clava Cairns som "det åndelige hjem Craigh na Dun", og mange besøgende siger, det føles som at træde direkte ind i verden af Claire og Jamie.
Vores næste stop er den smukke Dores Beach, på den rolige sydkyst af Loch Ness - hjemsted for en af de mest betagende udsigter i hele Storbritannien! Tag en tur langs den stenede kyst og optag det fantastiske panorama eller, hvis han ikke er på en Nessie-jagt mission, kan du endda møde bosiddende monsterjæger Steve Feltham, der har været på udkig efter Loch Ness Monster her i over 30 år og sælger nogle meget mindeværdige souvenirs. Der er også en traditionel skotsk pub lige ved kanten af loch, hvor du måske ønsker at nyde en lokal øl eller en lille dram af whisky (underlagt åbningstider).
Med sin fascinerende historie, naturskønne omgivelser på floden Ness og masser af hyggelige pubber og mærkelige butikker har Inverness sin egen charme. Kendt som hovedstaden i Highlands, det tilbyder en vidunderlig blanding af arv og livskraft. På bare en kort gåtur kan du beundre den røde sandsten Inverness Castle, tage i skønheden i St Andrew's Cathedral, og vandre gennem den karakteristiske viktorianske marked - alt sammen mens du absorberer den livlige atmosfære i denne indbydende Highland by. Du vil have omkring en time at udforske her, med lidt mindre tid på ture, der varer under otte timer.
Vi vil være på udkig efter en af Highlands mest berømte beboere - Highland koen (eller "coo" som vi gerne siger). Hvis vi opdager nogen af disse shaggy, horned skønheder langs vejen, vil vi gøre vores bedste for at trække over et sikkert sted, så du kan tage billeder og nyde et nærmere kig. Coo sightings er aldrig garanteret, men vi ved, hvor populære disse lokale berømtheder er blandt vores gæster! For at afrunde tingene, vil vi rejse tilbage til Invergordon via den smukke Black Isle, en fredelig strækning af rullende landskab prægnet med små landsbyer og landbrugsjord. Du vil blive returneret til havnen med behagelig tid til at spare før dit skib afgår - normalt mindst 1 time 15 minutter i forvejen. Efter en dag fyldt med fremragende landskaber, lokale historier og Highlands karakter, kommer du tilbage med masser af gode billeder og en ægte følelse for denne særlige del af Skotland.

Was absolutely amazing!! Our guide was fantastic! Can't recommend enough!!
We had a wonderful time!! Ross was a great driver guide. We learned a lot and enjoyed lots of laughs along the way. The scenery everywhere was absolutely beautiful as well. I would highly recommend this tour and also Ross for the guide. Thanks for a fantastic day!
Had a fantastic tour guide Andrew. He was a wealth of information with a good sense of humour. We learned a lot, saw a lot and had a great time.we highly recommend this tour.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review our Classic Highland Shore Tour from Invergordon - it's lovely to hear that you had a great day with Andrew, and we appreciate the recommendation!
We used and appreciated Wow Scotland 9 years ago. A cruise found us once again in Invergordon looking for a tour of Inverness and area. We appreciated Wow Scotland back then and, on this trip, fell in love with them all over again. Last tour was Gordon. A great guy. This tour we enjoyed Murdoch. Like many guides, he had a wonderful background and knew the history and stories of the lands very well. Where he set himself apart from others was how he wove those stories together and presented them like only a skilled storyteller can. The small bus format of these tours is SO much better than a big coach. We strayed from the beaten path so that we could enjoy the countryside on a more intimate level. I've been cruising for years and taken countless tours. In all sincerity my two favorites are both with Wow Scotland. I don't simply recommend them. No. I highly recommend them. There love of Scotland coupled with a personal touch that is rarely seen, they give the finest tours possible.
This review truly made our day — thank you so much! To hear that your two all-time favourite tours from years of cruising the world are both with WOW Scotland is the highest praise we could receive. We are absolutely thrilled. Cruise guests very rarely pass through Invergordon twice, so it is genuinely wonderful when we see a familiar face in the crowd. The fact that you sought us out again after nine years means the world to us. Murdoch really is a exceptional storyteller — that ability to weave history, landscape and legend into something that feels alive is a rare gift. And you've put your finger on exactly what we set out to create — a smaller, more personal experience that takes you off the beaten path and lets Scotland reveal itself on a more intimate level. Thank you for your loyalty, your kind words, and for sharing your experience so beautifully.
Fantastic tour and company. Loved it. Best tour guides.
Thanks so much - so glad that you enjoyed our Classic Highland Shore Tour from Invergordon so much!
If you are looking for the ultimate shore excursion from Invergordon, look no further! Booking the Classic Highland Shore Tour with WOW Scotland was the absolute highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we stepped off the ship, the experience was seamless, professionally organized, and utterly captivating. ✨ What Made It So Magical: • The Ultimate Storytellers: Our guide Murdoch was spectacular—warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and a brilliant storyteller who brought Scotland's rich history, vibrant legends, and heritage to life at every single turn. • Breathtaking Itinerary: We packed so much incredible history and scenery into one day without ever feeling rushed. From the hauntingly beautiful expanse of the Culloden Battlefield and the mesmerizing Bronze Age history at Clava Cairns, to the stunning fairytale charm of Cawdor Castle, every stop was a masterpiece. • Monster-Sized Views: Seeing the legendary Loch Ness from the tranquil shores of Dores was unforgettable—the sweeping vistas were pure magic. And yes, getting to sneak a peek at the iconic, shaggy Highland Coos was the perfect cherry on top! • First-Class Comfort: Traveling in their custom, panoramic mini-coach made sightseeing a dream. It felt incredibly personal, relaxing, and vastly superior to those massive, crowded cruise line tour buses. 🥪 A Note on the Details: They truly think of everything to save you valuable sightseeing time. The exclusive to-go lunch package offered at Cawdor Castle was fantastic, convenient, and wonderfully accommodating with excellent gluten-free options! Most importantly, their back-to-ship guarantee is completely stress-free. We returned to the port with plenty of time to spare, completely relaxed and full of memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, WOW Scotland, for an authentic, world-class day in the Highlands. If you want a tour that truly delivers the "WOW" factor, do yourself a favor and book this immediately!
The guide/driver was great. Lots of history and entertaining stories. All the stops were all very good.
Murdoch Beddie was a fabulous tour guide. Folks in our group that usually fall asleep on bus tours stayed awake all day! Very knowledgeable about history and a terrific storyteller. This tour has a good mix of stops and time at each location compared to others we have done where you get 5 minutes at a view point to take a picture and hop back on the bus. Really enjoyed it and was the best tour of all that we had on this cruise.
Ross was our guide and driver, excellent stories and history between stops. He also shared local music on longer drives. We covered lots of Scottland in a very nice streched Sprinter bus. Saw Loch Ness, Culloden Battlefield, Cawdor Castle, Clava Cairns and Inverness. The Castle tour was my favoirite, folowed by walking around Iverness. We will be back! Ask to tour with Ross, you wont be dissappointed.
All of the sights were interesting and informative. In particular, our guide, Andrew, gave us so much interesting information about the history of Scotland
