Beskrivelse
Returrejse: Vi vil have dig tilbage til dit skib omkring 1 time før sin afgang tid. Vi kommer næsten altid tilbage før skibets egne busser. Vi er meget effektive og har gjort det i 7 år og betjener tusindvis af rejsende hver sommer. Du vil se Clava Cairns fra Outlander berømmelse, Culloden slagmarken, Urquhart Castle, Inverness, Loch Ness og de berømte højlandskøer på Beauly. Denne tur er taget normalt i en 8-sæder minivan, men nogle gange op til en 33-sæder, som stadig er en lille bus. Vores tur er baseret på en kvalitetsoplevelse fra feedback fra vores kunder i 2019. Vi er en ny virksomhed, der sigter mod at behage og vores guider vil tilbyde dig lokal viden og besvare alle dine spørgsmål. Vores tur afgår 30 minutter til 1,5 timer efter skibets ankomst. Denne tur kan være i alt fra 8 sæder til 33 sæder afhængigt af antal. Du vil elske vores erfarne guider i deres lilla uniformer eller tartan og kilt tøj.

Rejseplan
⸻ Culloden Battlefield • Culloden Moor, lige uden for Inverness, er stedet for slaget ved Culloden (16 april 1746), den sidste slaget på britisk jord. • Det markerede slutningen på den Jacobitiske opstandelse i 1745, da prins Charles Edward Stuart – "Bonnie Prince Charlie" – forsøgte at genvinde tronen for den eksilerede Stuart dynasti. • Den jakobitiske hær, der hovedsageligt bestod af højlandske klanfolk, stod over for hertug af Cumberlands regeringsstyrker. Dette omfatter rejsetid til at komme derfra fra havnen på 45 minutter. 30 - 45 minutter på stedet.
• The Clava Cairns er en gruppe af bronsealder begravelse cairns, omkring 4.000 år gammel, beliggende nær Culloden Battlefield, lige uden for Inverness. • Området omfatter passagegrave, ringkager, stående sten og kager, der er arrangeret i et cirkulært mønster. • Fans af tv-serien Outlander vil genkende Clava Cairns som inspirationen til den fiktive Craigh na Dun, hvor Claire Randall transporteres tilbage i tiden gennem de stående sten. • Mens Clava Cairns selv ikke har en magisk "spalt sten" som i serien, føles indstillingen - med sin cirkel af stående sten - meget ens. 15 minutters rejsetid fra sidste placering.
Ankomst Inverness centrum, hvor din indgang er inkluderet i Inverness slottets nye visning galleri. Se lige over byen. Besøg statuen af Flora MacDonald uden for slottet og se butikker og caféer i Inverness. Måske prøve en lokal øl i den ældste bar i Inverness, Gellions, dateret tilbage til 1841. Desværre kun billeder indtil 2024 så store han er overskyet for komplet renovering. 30 minutters rejsetid fra sidste sted
Rej ved siden af Loch Ness i 15 miles, stop for at få billeder af Nessie (hvis du er meget heldig).
Gå gennem den maleriske landsby og stop, når du besøger Nessie-centret og gin-butikken
Besøg ruinerne af Urquhart Slot samt video center. Se en 6 minutters historisk video med egne sprog undertekster. Vandre ned til ruinerne eller gennemse butikken eller caféen. Inkluderet kørsel med loch ness i 30 minutter
Se det virkelige liv højland coos og alpacas på Robertson's gård i udkanten af Beauly. Inkluderer 30 minutters rejsetid fra sidste placering.
Struktur Viaduct er den længste murværk viaduct i Skotland, strækker sig 1.800 fod (549 meter). • Den er lavet af rød sandsten og består af 29 graceful buer, hver omkring 50 fod høj. • Viadukten har en svingende kurve, hvilket giver det et meget elegant udseende på tværs af landskabet.
Forlad landsbyen Drumnadrochit og derefter tilbage til skibet via vildt land 1000 meter op ad et bjerg, der falder ned i landsbyen Beauly, der passerer ved det gamle Priory.

When I booked the trip, I didn’t realize it began in Invergorten at the cruise ship terminal as I was staying in Inverness. My friend was ill that morning so she stayed behind. When the lovely ladies at Thistle Excursions realized I’d taken a pricey taxi to get there, they immediately offered to give me a ride back to Inverness after our tour concluded! June was our Guide for the day and she was very knowledgeable and shared the colorful history of the Highlands, Clava Cairn, the Culloden Battlefield, Culloden Viaduct, Urqhart Castle, Loch Ness and Inverness. While at Culloden Battlefield, she explained that the rock wall at the entrance to the Battlefield showed the striking disparity between the deaths of British soldiers and the massive numbers of Jacobite soldiers killed there. There were 3 of us on the tour (all NorCal gals) and June was a great driver, the car was comfy and clean, and we ended the day with a stop at Robertson’s - The Larder and Highland Cows. It was a wonderful day and when the tour was done, Moe kindly gave me a ride back to my hotel in Inverness. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you Karen. Very much appreciated.

Karen Thank you for This lovely review.
Boat arrived late, confusion at departure (a guide left without us). Fortunately, other guides were still on site and Danny took very good care of us. A huge thank you to this very kind gentleman. However, we had to shorten all the visits but we saw all the attractions scheduled on the itinerary.
I’m sorry Aileen took another couple instead of your couple Suzanne but everybody came off at once because the ship docked 1.5 hours later than urs schedule. We had to change our itinerary several times during the wait for you to disembark. We did not delay your ship. You had technical difficulties. It made no difference as Danny was still waiting for me to return from the dentist which I had booked with regard to the ship’s correct docking time at 8am. I booked it for 9.30 as I’d be well clear but the ship didn’t start disembarking until 9.45am. Not our fault. We had no choice but to cut some visits short. You went with Danny and had a great day. We would never leave any guests behind if they were on time and given the disembarkation issues we waited you and took you. I’m disappointed we dropped a star for the captain’s decision to arrive later.
The operator was well organized and our guide Niall was exceptionally knowledgeable about history and thorough. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him. He made the tour special.
Thank you so much. By all us fabulous.
June was our tour guide. It was a small group and June was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and she really tried to make sure we saw as much as we could in our short stay. We had a very lovely day and even had a special stop at the end of the tour that was an added bonus.
Thank you so much x
This was a great tour. We really liked the small group and our guide was great. We were a bit concerned it would be difficult to find the van but it was easy to find them as they were just outside the cruise terminal. The stops were all great. Urquhart, despite being crowded, is one the most picturesque castles we have been too. Don't skip the short movie on the history when you first get there. It is well worth the few minutes.
Thank you Richard
Our guide Laura was amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us lots of information. If you are an Outlander fan I would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you Jackie x
Excellent walk through amazing places. Our guide Danny fabulous. The only bad thing was the van they took us in, very uncomfortable.
Thank you so much.
We really enjoyed our tour!! Niall was an excellent guide who provided us with so many facts and history. A very enjoyable day!!
Thank you linda Lovely review x
We actually saw a YouTube video of another cruiser’s day in Invergordon where he had taken a tour with Thistle Excursions and we are so glad we did because we just had the most wonderful day exploring the highlands with them! Our guide, Eleanor was absolutely fantastic. She was funny and nice and you could tell she loved to share her homeland with us. She always made sure we were taken care of and felt comfortable all day. We made 5 stops today and never felt rushed at any of them. This was one of our all time favorite shore excursion tours we have ever taken. We can not recommend this tour enough!!!
Thank you so much. Yes we were lucky that guest doing the YouTube video a few years ago. A lovely surprise.
