Itinerario
Viaggeremo sul campo di battaglia di Culloden, dove i giacobiti persero molte anime durante la rivolta del 1946. Questa è stata l'ultima battaglia da combattere sul suolo britannico. Se il tempo lo consente, daremo agli ospiti la possibilità di camminare sul campo di battaglia. A seconda del tour, potremmo non fermarci, ma semplicemente guidare.
Dopo una mezz'ora di visita a Clava Cairns, gironzoleremo dietro l'angolo per vedere il famoso viadotto Culloden o Nairn, progettato da Murdoch Paterson e aperto come passaggio a livello nel 1898. È uno spettacolo da vedere - ci saranno opportunità fotografiche.
Il Castello di Cawdor è un castello vissuto nel quale è scritto in MacBeth di Shakespeare, quando si riferisce al Thane di Cawdor e alla predizione. Ha giardini spettacolari e tour audio guidati nella tua lingua.
Scendi in città per fare shopping o vedere le chiese e le strade storiche. Può variare tra 30 e 90 minuti per questa fermata.
Lasceremo il castello di Urquhart intorno alle 14:00-14:30 per percorrere una strada panoramica fino a Beauly per raggiungere lo storico priorato, ora in rovina, costruito nel 1230 da un poco conosciuto ordine di monaci francesi. È anche il luogo in cui si suppone che Claire, famosa per Outlander, abbia incontrato Mairi. È il vero sito del cimitero dei capi del clan Fraser a cui è legato il personaggio immaginario di Outlander, Jamie Fraser. Se il tempo lo permetterà ci fermeremo.
Proseguendo attraverso la città di Inverness, passeremo davanti allo storico municipio e al castello di Inverness. Ci saranno opportunità fotografiche per il castello e la cattedrale di Inverness. Potrai visitare la galleria di osservazione del castello e i negozi, i caffè o i bar storici. Foto solo fino al 2024 in quanto il castello è in fase di ristrutturazione.
Attraversando il fiume Ness fino a Loch Ness, dove devi essere pronto a individuare la nostra leggenda, Nessie, il mostro di Loch Ness. Goditi il comodo giro lungo Loch Ness, che dura circa 30 minuti, alla ricerca di un avvistamento della stessa Nessie. L'ultimo famoso avvistamento di lei risale a qualche decennio fa, ma viviamo nella speranza che venga presto fotografata di nuovo. Lo scenario non è secondo a nessuno, quindi tieni pronta la macchina fotografica. Negli ultimi mesi sono circolati online filmati di registrazioni video di un animale simile a Nessie che gioca a Loch Ness. Ci fermeremo alla sosta di Loch Ness per le foto, ma non è possibile remare a Loch Ness a causa della ripida posizione collinare. Attraverserai Loch Ness per 30 minuti divertendoti e aspettando di intravedere Nessie. Guida per 30 minuti. Cercheremo di fermarci per le foto
Vai a vedere un negozio di una fattoria locale ma soprattutto guarda le due mucche delle Highland Jamie e Katie-Morag

We were fortunate enough to have Danny as our driver/guide. He was very informative and friendly. Highly recommend the tour.
Thank you Mark We really appreciate your review. Glad you enjoyed your tour with Thistle Excursions.
This was a great excursion. We got picked up from the port. Danny, our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided history of all the area we visited or passed by. He manages our time well. We didn't feel rushed. As a matter of fact because there were just 6 of us in the minivan (plenty of room) we even have extra time to walk around the beautiful city of Inverness to eat and shop. We got to see the Highland cows at Robinson's farm, which was awesome! Loch Ness was a sight to behold! The view was spectacular. The water is clear, however we didn't see " Nessie". Next stopped was the historical Culloden battlefield, we walked around the field and even have time to have lunch afterwards. Then off to Clava Cairns to see the ancient standing stone and burial cairns. Afterwards we went for a self guided tour of Cawdor Castle , we were provided with an audio device to listen to while walking inside the castle. The castle gardens are beautiful and well maintained. We had an enjoyable drive through out the beautiful countryside . Thank you Danny. No boring moment. This was one of our best Scotland excursion. I highly recommend this tour. And of course we got back to our ship with plenty of time to spare!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable day exploring the Highlands with Danny. It sounds like you managed to fit so much into your tour while still having plenty of time to enjoy each stop at a relaxed pace. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Danny — he’ll be especially pleased to hear that there was “no boring moment”! 😊 Thank you for choosing Thistle Excursions and for recommending us so highly. We hope your visit to Scotland has left you with some fantastic memories — even if Nessie did manage to hide from you! 💜🏴
Extensive tour! A long day. Small group. She added 3 extra stops! Highly recommended. Educational day
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a great day with Mo. She loves sharing her knowledge of the Highlands and, whenever time allows, adding a few extra stops along the way. We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to her. Thank you for highly recommending us, and we hope you take home some fantastic memories of Scotland! 💜
Andrew was magnificent. Great presentation, lots of information, clearly passionate about Scotland Bus was comfortable
We think this is not our review as we do not have a guide called Andrew. You might been Simon?! Thank you.
New, clean comfortable bus driven excellently by our driver Jordan. Moe our tour guide provided historic-information at each of the sites we visited in Inverness and surrounding towns. Cawdor castle was a delight and comfortable trek. Many thanks to Moe to quick wit and vast information.
Thank you for your wonderful comments about Mo and Jordan. Mo has a remarkable amount of Highland history and local knowledge to share, and Jordan will be pleased to hear his driving was appreciated too. It sounds like Cawdor Castle was a particular highlight. Thank you for spending your day ashore with us!
This was a wonderful tour covering a great deal of ground and a lot of information. The guide was very knowledgeable and made schedule adaptations based on her knowledge of the traffic and the on and off rain so that we were able to enjoy the trip to the maximum.
We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable day. Highland weather certainly keeps us on our toes, so it’s lovely to hear that your guide adapted the schedule to make the very best of the changing rain and traffic. Sometimes a little flexibility makes all the difference. Thank you for joining us!
Our guide, Mo, packed in so much to 8 full hours. It was great that the group was small enough for a van and some personalization of the itinerary. All of the included sites and visits were well chosen, organized, and she was full of information and stories! The day was definitely long but we really got a wonderful sense of the region. Booking was easy, thistle was very accommodating when we needed to change the date we booked, and the tour was well worth the price! Highly recommend!
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Mo certainly knows how to fit a lot into a Highland day while still making it feel personal! We’re especially pleased you enjoyed the balance of history, stories and sightseeing, and that we could accommodate your date change. It means a lot to hear you felt the tour was worth the price.
Our guide was very knowledgeable in the history surrounding us. She was light hearted and personallble to all the guest on the bus. Hwf and the driver made the trip fun.
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your day exploring the Highlands. It’s wonderful to hear your guide’s knowledge, humour and friendly approach made the tour so enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back to Scotland again soon!
Absolutely loved this day. A bit pricey but a good choice for the entire day. Eleanor was our guide and was friendly and knowledgeable. The sites were great, time alloted good. Loved Cawdor Castle and gardens. Battlefield history was very interesting.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your comments about the price and are very pleased that you felt the full day was a good choice and thoroughly enjoyed it. Eleanor will be delighted to hear that her friendly manner and knowledge added to your experience. Cawdor’s beautiful gardens and the extraordinary history of Culloden make quite a contrast, so it’s lovely that both stood out for you. Thank you for joining us for the day.
Niall MacLean was our tour guide today and we couldn't have had a better guide. Well versed in history and articulate! We had the best day!! I recommend this tour for sure.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled Niall made your day so memorable. His passion for Scotland’s history and storytelling really shines through, and he’ll be delighted to hear your kind words. We hope to see you again on another Highland adventure!
