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.

This tour was great. The guide was funny, informative and engaging. The bus was super clean and comfortable. You had just the right amount of time at each stop and it wasn’t going from gift shop to gift shop as so many are. Highly recommend this tour and company
Right from the very start this trip was worth every penny. The meeting point was directly outside the port where we met a lady with a sign for WOW ( sorry forgot her name) She introduced us to our guide/driver for the day Ross. A short walk away was the the car park and the size of the bus was s real surprise. Not a minibus or a coach but a 31 seater Large tall windows and comfortable seats. We had booked the extra legroom seats but the others we could have managed with. The majority of passengers turned up well before time and if it wasn't for a few ( grabbing more breakfast probably) we would have departed a good 30 minutes earlier. Ross was a very knowledgeable and funny guide and a confident safe driver. I won't go into the itinerary very deeply ( needs to be a surprise) But I will just give a few pointers that will help your day. At the first stop Cawder Castle grab a personal guide each and go straight in and you will virtually tour the place on your own. If you do the gardens first the large tour busses will have turned up. By the time we came out the castle it was manic. At Culloden join your driver for a tour of the battlefield. Ross was gentle with us as we are English. Be back at the vehicle at the specified time and this will give you more time in Inverness. The trip back to port was 30 minutes and well before boarding time. Again, compliments to Ross👏👏 and the WOW company. You will not be disappointed.
This was great!! Our guide, Murdoch, was really good. Interesting stories, jockeyed us into a good position for the castle tour, knowledgeable. Easy directions to find at the port, we squeaked in as they wouldn't let us off the ship right away. Highly recommend and I'm a tough critic.
Murdoch was fantastic. My kids usually get bored during long tour days, but Murdoch kept everyone entertained with his beautiful storytelling. The kids still remember all kinds of facts from the tour, and say it was their favorite tour ever!
This is a smaller tour company having around 6 employee total. The personal attention, great communication, and general good feelings they provide is beyond high class. This is by far the best tour experience my family has had in any country. Our tour guide Andrew embodies that Scottish hospitality like no other. His humor, warm demeanor, vast historical knowledge, and story telling ability make him a great asset to WOW and even better experience provider to tourists. You would be lucky to have him lead your tour. (I'm sure Colin is just as good assuming he keeps the oil in the bus engine). Highly recommend this company and guides and hope for their continued success in the tourism and hospitality business.
We wanted to see some of the Scottish Highlands when our cruise was in Invergordon. This was a great way to do so. I booked the tour with WOW Scotland directly, and it was much cheaper than the Princess tour. Our guide/driver was very aware of the ship's schedule, and we were back 1.5 hours before "All Aboard". We went in late July 2026. The meeting point was just outside the cruise terminal. We had tour guide/coach driver Andrew, who was very knowledgeable, quite funny, and answered any questions we had. He had the timing down well so that we were the first people at each stop and avoided the crowds. For example, we went to Cowdor Castle first, and there was nobody there yet. By the time we left, the Princess tour had gotten there, and the line just to get in was about 20 minutes long. The gardens at the castle were the highlight. You get the chance to buy a discounted lunch at the castle, but there are other items you can buy as well. You can eat the lunch on the bus as you go to the next stop. Next was a great stone circle site where Andrew gave a detailed explanation. Lots of time to explore. After that we went to the Culloden battle site, with more time to learn and explore. The next stops were Loch Ness (where Andrew gave those who wanted a wee dram of whisky to enjoy at the site), and we finished with time in Inverness. Overall, if you want to see the Highlands and/or are an Outlander fan, this is a great tour.
Incredible tour with an outstanding guide. Colin did a fantastic job, highly recommended.
Our tour from Invergordon with WOW Scotland Tours was one of the absolute highlights of our trip! Colin was an outstanding guide—friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about Scotland's history, culture, and traditions. He brought every stop to life with fascinating stories and made the entire day both entertaining and educational. We visited the beautiful Cawdor Castle, explored the hauntingly historic Culloden Battlefield, experienced the beauty of Loch Ness, and enjoyed time exploring the charming city of Inverness. Every stop was perfectly timed, giving us plenty of opportunities to take in the scenery, learn about the area's rich history, and capture some amazing photos. Colin's passion for Scotland is contagious. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped on the bus until we returned to the port. If you're visiting Invergordon on a cruise and want an unforgettable way to experience the Scottish Highlands, I can't recommend WOW Scotland Tours and Colin highly enough. This was truly a five-star experience and one we'll remember for years to come!
This tour was one of the highlights of our British Isles cruise. They were quick to respond to email queries when we were booking. Very kind and considerate to members of our group with physical disabilities. We enjoyed the tour commentary, providing us an overview of the historical sites we visited. highly recommend!
This was a fantastic tour! Met us right off the dock, Murdock was knowledgeable, funny and very friendly. We had a great time and feel like we were able to experience a lot of Scotland in our short time there and that we maxed out our time in port.
