Med tårne, elegante interiører og eventyr haver, denne atmosfæriske 14. århundrede skotske slot blander legende, historie og betagende landskab. Beliggende blandt gamle skove, er det et must-besøg for gæster, der udforsker de skotske højland. Ved ankomsten, hente en lydguide i dit valg af sprog og tur i dit eget tempo. Indvendigt kan du gå gennem århundreder af aristokratisk liv – fra det storslåede Drawing Room med renæssance-portrætter og pyntet gipsværk til Tapestry Bedroom med slående flamske væghænginger fra det 17. århundrede. Gå ikke glip af det berømte Thorn Tree Room, hvor et gammelt træ rejser sig dramatisk gennem gulvtæpperne. Udenfor kan du nyde smukke haver: den formelle blomsterhave, den vævede have med eksotiske planter og viklende stier og den vilde have, der fører ind i 750 hektar skovvandringer. Du har omkring 90 minutter til at udforske, besøge caféen og gennemse gavebutikkerne. WOW gæster kan også afhente en pakket frokost. Indgang og lydguide inkluderet i prisen.
Vores første 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).

Colin was fantastic! This was a great trip from start to finish. Very comfortable coach. Perfect timing. Lots of great information. Happily the rain held off for the entire trip.
excellent. Colin made the trip entertaining and informative. Well organized and executed
Our guide, Colin, was amazing! He truely loves Scotland and shared that love with us. He explained the history of Scotland and we left our tour with a deep appreciation of the country.
Nice tour from the port of Invergordon through the Highlands. Cawdor Castle has a very beautiful garden and is nice to look at from the outside. I found the interior tour unnecessary, as there are really much more beautiful castles. The Clava Cairns are interesting; however, 15 minutes is enough to thoroughly look at and read everything. The Culloden battlefield is very unremarkable; you really have to be deeply interested in the topic to want to stay there for 70 minutes. That was drawn out a lot. The stop at Loch Ness was nice; the scenery is great. Unfortunately, we only drove through Inverness to return to the ship. I would have liked to stay there longer. I find the argument that the ship does not have a long docking time weak. When we arrived at the port, we still had 1.5 hours until everyone had to be on board. So, if one had not spent so long at a battlefield where only red and blue flags are visible, the time would definitely have been sufficient. All in all, I find the trip for 6.5 hours with 2 people for 215 euros too expensive.
I had 10 hours in Inverness and did the all-day Highland Highlights tour with WOW Scotland. It was one of the best parts of my trip. We visited Cawdor Castle, Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns and the Loch Ness. Colin was our guide and he was great. Knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and a great story teller. He gave a lot of tips and local insight along the way. We saw "hairy coos", sheep, and Clydesdales. The scenery was breathtaking and we were fortunate enough to have wonderful weather that day. The only criticism I would have is actually a positive. We ended up not having much time at Loch Ness. Several cruise passengers were running late getting off the ship. Gordon (I think that is his name) held the bus to ensure everyone made the trip. That is great customer service! While we missed some time, it was still enough to see the lake and look around. I would recommend WOW Scotland for anyone looking for a well-run, easy way to experience the Highlands. It was a fantastic day!
We can highly recommend this tour. Jamie, our guide, was very friendly and shared lots of insider information with us. We would book this tour with WOW Tours again anytime.
Ivergordom highlights Tour was about 6.5 hrs. Some outdoor walking involved at the castle on flat surface. Inside of Castle there are some circular steps to navigate. Enjoyed walking in the gardens and the Cafe at the museum. Colin was an excellent guide and very engaging. Lots of good information about the history especially the Jacobites.
Great combination of locations. Colin was great guide. Company monitored our cruise delayed arrival and sent message assuring us they would be waiting and adjusted the tour order so we saw all as advertised Great tour!!
Excellent shore excursion. Colin was the best driver / guide / tourism ambassador ever. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed a wonderful tour through the Highlands: a passionate guide who shared his homeland with us, providing plenty of information, a good selection of sights with ample time and no rush, and a small, pleasant group. This provider comes highly recommended. If we travel to Scotland again, we will definitely take another tour with WOW.
Thanks so much for the excellent review. Definitely do get in touch if you are in Scotland again as we'd love to show you more of our beautiful country.
