Executive-rejser og guidede ture gennem det skotske højland
Beskrivelse
Indtastning på denne tur vil gøre det muligt for gæsterne at sidde komfortabelt i et privat executive air conditioned køretøj med en kyndig guide til at informere dem undervejs. Det er hensigten at maksimere nydelsen for gæster på deres Highland Adventure. Deling af smukke steder, som højlandet har at byde på. Vi kan sætte fod på selve Culloden slagmarken, gå gennem regeringens linjer. deling af lokal viden og historisk forståelse. Gå gennem de historiske Clava Cairns, genoplev det "outlander"-øjeblik med transport gennem de stående sten. Besøg maleriske landsteder for det forfriskende kaffe- eller frokoststop væk fra bylivets stress og jag. Fleksibilitet inden for dagen giver mulighed for at afvige fra den anerkendte rute for et specifikt område eller aktivitet af interesse for gæster som whiskydestillering, geologi eller forfædres historie. Det er meget kundefokuseret og stræber efter at gøre dit besøg i højlandet til et mindeværdigt besøg af alle de rigtige grunde.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Se slagmarken, som den er bevaret denne dag, gå gennem de brolagte områder og passerer både jakobitterne og regeringslinjerne. Se klanens sten og den store varde, der identificerer de mange klaner, der kæmpede sammen. Fra et "Outlander"-perspektiv, vær vidne til Clan Fraser-stenen, der refereres til i Outlander-serien, hvor "Jamie" oplevede selve slagmarken. Der er et besøgscenter på stedet, der tilbyder en indendørs informationstur (selvguidet), men som pådrager sig ekstra omkostninger for at komme ind på turen. Der er gratis adgang til toiletter, café og butik.
En kort afstand fra Culloden Battlefield finder de gamle Clava Cairns. Denne placering er velbesøgt, og Cairns og stående sten menes at være cirka 4000 år gamle. Dette er et velholdt område, og selvom det ikke er brolagt, er det tilgængeligt for alle. Adgang til centrum af Cairns er også tilgængelig. Den største af de stående sten er meget populær til at genskabe det "Outlander"-øjeblik med transport gennem stenen og tilbage i tiden som gjort af både Clair og Brianna mange gange!!!!
Rejs til landsbyen Cawdor et par miles øst for både Culloden og Clava. Cawdor Castle daterer sig tilbage til 1179 og ligger i udkanten af landsbyen i idylliske omgivelser med sine store haver og grunde. Selve slottet har den mytiske forbindelse til William Shakespeare-tragedien "Macbeth" Slottet er velholdt og åbent for offentligheden mod entré, hvilket giver adgang til selve slottet og dets mange rum og velbevaret arkitektur. Gæster får også adgang til slottets pragt, som er meget godt præsenteret og vedligeholdt.
Tag mod den største sø i Skotland med dens mytiske historie om Loch Ness-monstret, der bor dybt inde i Loch. Muligheder for at besøge kystlinjen og stenstranden ved Village of Dores eller køre langs A82-vejen, mens den snor sig mellem Loch og klippevæggen mod Drumnadrochit og Great Glen. Der er også mulighed for at tage en bådtur fra Clansman langs søen mod Urquhart Castle, hvor du kan stå af båden og gå ind på slottets grund. Der er ekstra omkostninger til både sejltur og adgang til slottet.
Urquart Castle har udsigt over Loch ness fra dets klippepunkt lige vest for Drumnadrochit. Slottet har en historie, der går helt tilbage, og i 1296 blev det sagt at være blevet taget af englænderne, da Edward 1 invaderede Skotland. Det blev dog generobret af skotterne, men tabte igen senere til englænderne igen. Slotsgrunden er meget velplejet, så besøgende har mulighed for at gå ned gennem grunden og tage den store Loch ind på hver side af slottet. Der er et ekstra gebyr for adgang til slottet.
Besøg Beauly og Old Priory-bygningen. Beauly var igen en anden Highland-placering, der nævnes stærkt i Outlander og er hjemsted for Lord Lovat, der igen er nævnt i Outlander. Old Priory Beauly er et godt besøgt sted, og ruinerne ser spektakulære ud i sin nuværende tilstand. Det anslås at være grundlagt i 1230. De franske munke havde en stærk nok fransktalende tilstedeværelse til at give stedet og floden navnet "beau lieu" ("skønt sted") og få det overført til engelsk. En alternativ historie om navngivningen af Beauly-landsbyen er, at 'Mary, Queen of Scots' siges at have rejst gennem området i sine sene teenageår og sprang sit hoved ud af Carriage-vinduet og udtalte ordene 'Beau Lieu' ( smukt sted). Det er ikke det bedst dokumenterede kloster, og kun få af Beaulys priors er kendt ved navn indtil det 14. århundrede. Det blev cistercienser den 16. april 1510, efter pavens undertrykkelse af Valliscaulian-ordenen.

Bob was absolutely wonderful and truly the best guide we’ve had. He was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and made our day around the Isle of Skye unforgettable. We visited the Fairy Pools, Dunvegan Castle, and even some wonderful local spots we never would have experienced on our own. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we hoped for while giving us a genuine local experience. If you are visiting Skye, book with Bob - you will not regret it. He made our trip so special and was one of the highlights of our time in Scotland!
Bob did a wonderful job guiding us through the Highlands for our week long golf trip. He also picked us up and dropped us off in Edinburgh to start and end our journey. He was on time, knowledgeable and great to be around. His Mercedes was comfortable and spotless. Before the trip Bob arranged caddies for us which was a huge help. Definitely using Caledonia Supreme Tours and Transfers for out next Scotland adventure.
Our tour made Scotland come alive. Our tour guide David Ogilvie was highly informative in regard to the history and natural beauty of Scotland. He was also a great guide to the fabulous distilleries. He could not have been more gracious and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in an outstanding experience in Scotland
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us, it is very much appreciated. I am delighted that you enjoyed your time in the Highlands. Safe travels and thanks again.
We had a wonderful experience with Bob from Caledonia Supreme Tours & Transfers. Being a Northern Highlands local, he showed us all of the sites in the Highlands around Inverness as well as a stop at a local distillery and castle. Being a retired 30 yr policeman, he was chock full of great information. I highly recommend him!
Hi there, glad you enjoyed your day out in the Highlands. Thank you for taking the time to review its very much appreciated. Thanks again and safe travels. Bob
Our party consisted of 7 ladies on a day trip to Isle of Skye. We had an amazing day. Bob is very knowledgeable about Scottish history but in a lighthearted manner. The craic was excellent. Would have no hesitation recommending Bob.
Excellent and professional service! Bob is a fantastic guide and will take you through gorgeous routes and tell you stories to keep you engaged! He’s also super flexible and will definitely surprise you with a dram when you least expect it! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a bespoke experience in the Highlands.
Thank you for taking the time to review, glad that you enjoyed the day. Thanks again. Bob
Booking a personal tour with Caledonia Supreme Tours and Transit was a highlight of our two week visit to Scotland. Bob was able to be flexible with schedule while still helping us see and learn about the top sights in the Inverness area. (Culloden battlefield, Clava cairns, Cawdor castle, Urquhart castle, Loch ness) Bob arrived in a well appointed Mercedes van that could have easily accommodated 6 or more passengers. He used a microphone while driving to ensure we could hear the tour commentary along the way. Not just a driver, Bob is well versed in the area and history and offered insightful facts and stories throughout, while injecting humor along the way. At some sites Bob went along with us to offer guidance and input, on others, where tour narratives were provided, he left us to tour at our own pace and connected with us when we were done to move on to the next place on our list. Bob was charismatic and chatty and added local color to our entire tour, making it much more enjoyable and interesting than some stuffy pre-packaged jaunt with 25 other strangers and a tired tour guide. Next time we're in Inverness, we'll definitely engage Bob and Caledonia Supreme Tours and Transit again. Maybe next time, we'll catch a glimpse of Nessie.
Glad that you enjoyed your time around Inverness, Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to review, it is very much appreciated. Thanks again. Bob
What can we say about Bob? Only that, he absolutely made our trip to the Highlands one of, if not, the most memorable experience we have had on our travels. He is an enthusiastic and gracious host, not to mention his vast knowledge of the history of his beloved Scotland. His touring vehicle was always spotless, and he entertained us with his humor and authentic charisma. He made sure we saw and experienced everything on our wish list. We hope to see him again for our next trip to Scotland as we consider him a dear friend. p.s. Thanks for replenishing the scotch and shortbread every day!
Hi there, thank you for your kind words, glad that you enjoyed your time in the Highlands. Apologies that it has taken me so long to respond to your review, its been a hectic year. Thanks again. take care, Bob
Best tour day in Scotland! Bob reconfirmed our tour the day prior and offered suggestions of how to make the most of our time with him. Bob was knowledgeable, polite and well spoken. By the end of the day we felt as if we had seen the most beautiful spots between Inverness and Oban - and per our request, had walked a bunch as well. I only wish that we had Bob as our tour guide and driver for the rest of our trip!
If you want to spend time exploring the Highlands with someone who knows his country, history, geography and traditions, I recommend to book the day with Bob. He showed us the main touristic places driving ftom Glasgow to the Inverness. But he showed us off the beaten track places as well, like hidden waterfalls and great places to eat. He didn’t rush us while I took bunch of photos. He was really flexible attending to our interests and the pace. It was more like spending time with the local friend than the tour guide. We loved it so much that asked for one more day tour to explore the Highlands. Thanks, Bob, for showing us your country!
