Itinerario
⸻ Campo de batalla Culloden • Culloden Moor, a las afueras de Inverness, es el lugar de la Batalla de Culloden (16 de abril de 1746), la última batalla campal librada en suelo británico. • Marcó el final del Levantamiento Jacobita de 1745, cuando el Príncipe Carlos Eduardo Estuardo – “Bonnie Prince Charlie” – trató de reclamar el trono para la dinastía de Estuardo exiliado. • El ejército jacobita, formado en gran parte por miembros de clanes de las Highland, se enfrentó a las fuerzas gubernamentales del duque de Cumberland. Esto incluye el tiempo de viaje para llegar desde el puerto de 45 minutos. 30 - 45 minutos en el sitio.
• Los Cairns de Clava son un grupo de cairns funerarios de la Edad del Bronce, de unos 4.000 años de antigüedad, ubicados cerca del Campo de Batalla de Culloden, a las afueras de Inverness. • El sitio incluye tumbas de paso, cairns de anillo, piedras de pie y cairns de bordillo, dispuestos en un patrón circular. • Los fans de la serie de televisión Outlander reconocerán a Clava Cairns como la inspiración para la ficción Craigh na Dun, donde Claire Randall es transportada en el tiempo a través de las piedras en pie. • Mientras que Clava Cairns en sí no tiene una "piedra dividida" mágica como en la serie, el escenario - con su círculo de piedras de pie - se siente muy similar. Incluye 15 minutos de viaje desde la última ubicación.
Llega al centro de la ciudad de Inverness, donde se incluye la entrada a la nueva galería de vistas del castillo de Inverness. Mira justo al otro lado de la ciudad. Visite la estatua de Flora MacDonald fuera del castillo y vea las tiendas y cafeterías en Inverness. Quizás probar una cerveza local en el bar más antiguo de Inverness, The Gellions, que data de 1841. Lamentablemente solo fotos hasta 2024 como vasto está nublado para la renovación completa. Incluye 30 minutos de viaje desde la última ubicación
Viaje junto al lago Ness durante 15 millas, deteniéndose para tomar fotos de Nessie (si tiene mucha suerte).
Pase por el pintoresco pueblo y deténgase cuando visite el centro Nessie y la tienda de ginebra.
Visita las ruinas del castillo de Urquhart, así como el centro de vídeo. Vea un video histórico de 6 minutos con subtítulos en su propio idioma. Pasea por las ruinas o navega por la tienda o cafetería. Incluye conducción en lago ness durante 30 minutos
Vea arrullos y alpacas de la vida real en la granja de Robertson en las afueras de Beauly. Incluye 30 minutos de viaje desde la última ubicación.
Estructura • El viaducto es el viaducto de mampostería más largo de Escocia, con una extensión de 549 metros. • Está hecho de arenisca roja y consta de 29 arcos elegantes, cada uno de unos 50 pies de altura. • El viaducto tiene una curva de barrido, dándole un aspecto muy elegante a través del paisaje.
Deje el pueblo Drumnadrochit y luego regrese al barco por tierra salvaje 1000 pies arriba de la montaña y descienda al pueblo de Beauly, pasando por el antiguo Priorato.

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.
