På vej til Beauly stopper vi ved Robertsons Farm Shop i Beauly, hvor vi vil se nogle storslåede Highland Coos, herunder en smuk Black Bull ved navn Jamie Mackenzie Fraser efter Outlander Hero.
Beauly Priory blev grundlagt i det 13. århundrede som et kloster for Valliscaulian orden af munker fra Dijon i Frankrig, Oliver Cromwells kræfter var ansvarlige for at ødelægge Priory i det 16. århundrede. I århundreder var dette et begravelsessted for lederne af klanen Fraser og Mackenzie og deres familier. Deres er en Outlander forbindelse, fordi det var her, at Claire mødte Seer.
Urquhart Castle ligger på et forbjerg, der rager ud til Loch Ness og er blevet kæmpet om mange gange gennem årene. Udsigten over Loch Ness fra slottet er fantastisk og under besøget kan du gå og udforske ruinerne af dette 1000 år gamle slot, og du kan gå ned til vandsiden af Loch Ness.

Spent two days with Billy showing us around the Highlands. He was great!! Knowledgeable about the history and the locals. Professional yet amusing, kind, and courteous. A great story teller! Thank you Billy!
Hi Baker Thanks very much for this great review and I'm glad you all had a good time with myself and hopefully we may see you back in the Highlands one day Kind regards Billy
Taking this private tour was a great decision. Lawrence, our driver and guide for the day, was excellent, taking great care of us, making sure we got into the venues, castles, etc. not just dropping us off in the parking lot. Professional, he shared his knowledge and history of the area. Schedule was flexible, so we were able to spend a little more time in Inverness. Met us at the Invergordon cruise port and returned us on time. Would book again!
Hello David , Thank you so much for your kind review , I am so pleased you enjoyed your tour and hopefully we will see you back in the Highlands in the not too distant future. Keep well and all the best Lawrence
Lawrence was very accommodating to customizing our tour. Was a WONDERFUL time! He took in to account our preferences, and even did a little research on family backgrounds and clan affiliation. It was my best 60th birthday so far.
Hello Andy , Thank you for your lovely review , I thoroughly enjoyed taking you and your friends around to help celebrate your 60th Birthday and I am so pleased you enjoyed your tours. Keep well and all the best Lawrence Maclean

Billy was the absolute best tour guide! Our group had a wonderful time! He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about all of our stops! Every stop on the tour was amazing! My favorite was the Cawdor Castle and Gardens!
Hi Lauren Thanks for your kind review and I'm glad you all had a great day out with me and hopefully see you back in the Highlands one day Kind regards Billy
Our tour guide, Kevin, showed us the grandeur of Lochness, the exquisite gardens of Cawdor Castle, an old Stonehenge like ruin, called Balnuaren of Clava, the site of the Battle of Culloden, a visit to see the "hurry coos" (hairy cows) and lunch at a fantastic local eatery. We were in a caravan of three cars snd all the hosts were accommodating. They also provided us with tasty local snacks and water. Thank you for sharing your beautiful homeland with us! We visited so many places but did not feel rushed.
Hi Margie Thanks for this kind review of your tour with Kevin and we are glad you had a great day Kind regards Billy
Billy met us at the port of Invergordon, on time and ready to show us Scotland. I had a few key places I wanted to see, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, Battle of Culloden and Clava Cairns. Billy made many more stops and I was very impressed with his knowledge. I truly appreciate the extra effort and time to show us as much as he could. We had a short stop in Canterbury and Billy recommended a lovely lunch cafe. This tour went beyond my expectations. At the end of the tour, he gifted us with some lovely Tea cakes. I highly recommend Highlander Private Tours. The cost shadows with the experience, time, and memories.
