Beschreibung
Rückreise: Wir bringen Sie ca. 1 Stunde vor Abfahrt zurück zu Ihrem Schiff. Wir kommen fast immer VOR den eigenen Bussen an.

Sie sehen Clava Cairns vom Outlander Ruhm, Culloden Schlachtfeld, Urquhart Castle, Inverness, Loch Ness und die berühmten Hochlandkühe in Beauly. Diese Tour wird in der Regel in einem 8-Sitzer-Minivan, aber manchmal bis zu einem 33-Sitzer, der immer noch ein kleiner Bus ist, unternommen. Unsere Tour basiert auf einem Qualitätserlebnis aus dem Feedback unserer Kunden im Jahr 2019. Wir sind ein neues Unternehmen, das es sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, Ihnen zu gefallen und unsere Guides bieten Ihnen lokales Wissen und beantworten alle Ihre Fragen. Unsere Tour beginnt 30 Minuten bis 1,5 Stunden nach der Ankunft des Schiffes. Diese Tour kann in allem von 8-Sitzer bis 33-Sitzer je nach Anzahl sein. Sie werden unsere erfahrenen Reiseleiter in ihren lila Uniformen oder Tartan und Kilt Kleidung lieben.

Reiseverlauf
⸻ Culloden Battlefield • Culloden Moor, etwas außerhalb von Inverness, ist Schauplatz der Schlacht von Culloden (16. April 1746), der letzten Schlacht, die auf britischem Boden ausgetragen wurde. • Es markierte das Ende des Jakobitenaufstands von 1745, als Prinz Charles Edward Stuart – „Bonnie Prince Charlie“ – versuchte, den Thron für die exilierte Stuart-Dynastie zurückzuerobern. • Die jakobitische Armee, die größtenteils aus Clanmitgliedern der Highlands bestand, stand den Regierungstruppen des Duke of Cumberland gegenüber. Dies beinhaltet die Fahrtzeit vom Hafen in 45 Minuten. 30 - 45 Minuten vor Ort.
• Die Clava Cairns sind eine Gruppe bronzezeitlicher Grabhügel, etwa 4.000 Jahre alt, in der Nähe von Culloden Battlefield, etwas außerhalb von Inverness. • Das Gelände umfasst Durchgangsgräber, Ringkavernen, stehende Steine und Randsteinkavernen, die kreisförmig angeordnet sind. • Fans der TV-Serie Outlander werden Clava Cairns als Inspiration für den fiktiven Craigh na Dun erkennen, in dem Claire Randall durch die stehenden Steine in die Vergangenheit versetzt wird. • Während Clava Cairns selbst keinen magischen „Spaltstein“ wie in der Serie hat, fühlt sich das Setting mit seinem Kreis aus stehenden Steinen sehr ähnlich an. Inklusive 15 Minuten Fahrzeit vom letzten Standort.
Ankunft im Stadtzentrum von Inverness, wo Ihr Eintritt in die neue Aussichtsgalerie von Inverness Castle inbegriffen ist. Sieh direkt über die Stadt. Besuchen Sie Flora MacDonalds Statue vor dem Schloss und sehen Sie die Geschäfte und Cafés in Inverness. Probieren Sie vielleicht ein lokales Bier in der ältesten Bar von Inverness, den Gellions, aus dem Jahr 1841. Leider nur Fotos bis 2024 so riesig ist er getrübt für komplette Renovierung. Inklusive 30 Minuten Fahrzeit vom letzten Standort
Fahren Sie 24 km am Loch Ness entlang und halten Sie an, um Fotos von Nessie zu machen (wenn Sie Glück haben).
Fahren Sie durch das malerische Dorf und machen Sie Halt, wenn Sie das Nessie Center und den Gin-Shop besuchen
Besuchen Sie die Ruinen von Urquhart Castle sowie das Videocenter. Sehen Sie sich ein 6-minütiges historisches Video mit eigenen Sprachuntertiteln an. Spazieren Sie zu den Ruinen oder stöbern Sie im Shop oder Café. Inklusive Fahrt mit dem Loch ness für 30 Minuten
Sehen Sie echte Hochland-Koos und Alpakas auf Robertsons Farm am Stadtrand von Beauly. Beinhaltet 30 Minuten Fahrzeit vom letzten Standort.
Struktur • Der Viadukt ist mit 549 Metern Länge der längste Mauerwerksviadukt Schottlands. • Es besteht aus rotem Sandstein und besteht aus 29 anmutigen Bögen, die jeweils etwa 50 Fuß hoch sind. • Der Viadukt hat eine geschwungene Kurve, die ihm ein sehr elegantes Aussehen über die Landschaft verleiht.
Verlassen Sie das Dorf Drumnadrochit und kehren Sie über 1000 Fuß einen Berg hinauf zum Schiff zurück, um in das Dorf Beauly hinunterzufallen, vorbei am alten Priorat.

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.
