Lago Ness , Outlander , Castillo de Inverness , Clava y Culloden
Descripción
Combinando tanto nuestro tour Outlander como nuestro Tour por el Lago Ness con guías locales de las Highlands viajamos desde Invergordon a lo largo de la orilla del Cromarty Firth y nos dirigimos a Beauly , deteniéndonos en Robertsons Farm Shop para ver algunos Highland Coos . Continuamos hacia el Priorato de Beauly , el Monasterio del siglo XIII construido para una orden de monjes Valliscaulianos. El Priorato fue un antiguo cementerio para los clanes Fraser y Mackenzie y ha aparecido en Outlander. Dejando Beauly atrás seguimos sobre Culnakirk Hill hasta Drumnadrochit y visitamos el castillo de Urquhart que se encuentra en un promontorio que sobresale hacia el lago Ness , las vistas del lago son fantásticas desde aquí y fue cerca de aquí donde St Columba tiene fama de haber visto el monstruo del lago Ness.

Itinerario
En nuestro camino a Beauly nos detendremos en Robertsons Farm Shop en Beauly donde veremos unos magníficos Highland Coos , incluyendo un precioso Toro Negro llamado Jamie Mackenzie Fraser en honor al Héroe Outlander.
Beauly Priory fue fundada en el siglo XIII como un monasterio para la orden Valliscauliana de monjes de Dijon en Francia , Oliver Cromwells fuerzas fueron responsables de destruir el Priorato en el siglo XVI. Durante siglos este fue un lugar de entierro para los jefes del clan Fraser y Mackenzie y sus familias. Es una conexión con Outlander porque fue aquí donde Claire conoció al Vidente.
El castillo de Urquhart se asienta sobre un promontorio que se adentra en el lago Ness y ha sido disputado muchas veces a lo largo de los años. Las vistas del lago Ness desde el castillo son fantásticas. y durante la visita puede ir y explorar las ruinas de este castillo de 1000 años de antigüedad y puede bajar al lado del agua del lago Ness. Mantén los ojos bien abiertos en caso de que aparezca Nessie.
Inverness es conocida como La Capital de las Tierras Altas. Nos detendremos en Inverness y visitaremos la Antigua Iglesia Mayor donde los prisioneros jacobitas fueron ejecutados después de la batalla y verá marcas de mosquetes en la pared de la torre donde tuvieron lugar las ejecuciones.

Highlanders Private Tour and Kevin (our guide) took wonderful care of us. He customized our day to include all the sights we wanted to see. Highly Recommend!
Hi Karen Thanks for this great review of your tour with Kevin and we’re glad you all enjoyed your day trip to Loch Ness and hopefully see you all back one day Kind Regards Billy
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
Our guide himself was one of the highlights actually. Graham was amazing. Easy to work with, funny, and super knowledgeable. Took great care of us. One of our trip highlights.
Hello William , Thank you for this lovely review , Graham is a lovely person and an excellent guide , I am so pleased you enjoyed your day with him. 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.
I would recommend this tour to anyone coming off a cruise ship and has a day to spend in the area. Billy Maclean was our tour guide and took very good care of us. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our day with him. He was very flexible given we docked late and was able to fit everything in we wanted to do.
Hi Thomas Thanks for your great review and I'm glad you had a great day with us and hopefully you may come back one day Kind regards Billy
I enjoyed my trip to Inverness very much. The driver showed us many different sightseeing attractions and told us something about the history. As an "Outlander-fan" the driver took us for instance to the locations the author Diana Gabaldon got her ideas from. I thank you Billie very much for this unusual experience. I like to think back on this journey.
Hi Teresa Thank you for this kind review and I'm glad you enjoyed the day and hopefully see you back one day Kind regards Billy
