Itinerário
Os fãs de Outlander vão adorar as misteriosas câmaras funerárias e pedras erguidas em Clava Cairns. Pedras que datam de cerca de 4.000 anos (sim, 4.000) são mais antigas que as pirâmides... Toque na maior delas... foi o que Claire fez! Atreva-se :)
Nossa segunda parada... é uma visita ao local poderosamente comovente do final Jacobite Rising - a última e mais angustiante batalha campal a ser travada em solo britânico entre a Escócia e a Inglaterra. Explore o centro de visitantes interativo, veja artefatos fascinantes de ambos os lados do confronto e experimente a batalha no imersivo cinema surround. Em 16 de abril de 1746, o último levante jacobita chegou a um ponto brutal. Apoiadores jacobitas, buscando restaurar a monarquia Stuart aos tronos britânicos, se reuniram para lutar contra as tropas do governo do duque de Cumberland. Foi a última batalha campal em solo britânico e, em menos de uma hora, cerca de 1.500 homens foram mortos – mais de 1.000 deles jacobitas.
Um romântico castelo de conto de fadas que tem sido o lar dos Thanes de Cawdor desde 1370, Cawdor evoluiu para uma charmosa mansão familiar e a mais notável das casas senhoriais. A dramática torre medieval, masmorra, torres, ameias e jardins premiados são uma atração imperdível.
Uma ótima oportunidade para explorar esta cidade escocesa compacta, que é perfeita para circular a pé - os viajantes podem facilmente encontrar seu caminho do belo rio Ness ao histórico Castelo de Inverness e Catedral de St. Andrews, e além para o teatro Eden Court e o movimentado mercado vitoriano. Não vamos esquecer os muitos bares, cafés e lojas!
O monstro de Loch Ness (escocês gaélico: Uilebheist Loch Nis),[1] conhecido afectuosamente como Nessie, é uma criatura mítica no folclore escocês que se diz que habita Loch Ness nas terras altas escocesas. É muitas vezes descrito como grande, de pescoço longo, e com um ou mais bumps sobressaindo da água. O interesse popular e a crença na criatura tem variado desde que ela foi trazida à atenção mundial em 1933.

Our tour guide Sarah was a local lassie and she was incredible. We loved the local stories, her historical knowledge of Scotland and her incredible demeanor. You can’t do this tour and not ask for Sarah to be your guide. The absolute highlight for me was the true story upon which the Outlander books (and TV show) are based and how the TV show got it right and how they didn’t. My friend loved Cawdor Castle and gardens the best and he thought Sarah’s recommendations there about the gardens were invaluable. We all just loved it.
It’s a wonderful day in the Scottish highlands. Culloden was especially interesting if you’re an Outlander fan. The castle was lovely with beautiful gardens. The tour guide was fantastic
Outstanding! George has Scottish pride, humor, and he is very knowledgeable about Scottish history. Can't say enough u
We travelled with Allister. He was better than we could have possibly wished for. Great storyteller, and communicator. We had a fully packed day, and loved every minute of it!
Fun day with George who was a great guide going out of his way to make the day ours and adjusting the itinerary. We got to see some neat things that we otherwise would not have. George was so knowledgeable and interesting.
Excellent execution from Sarah on our tour. We were spoiled as we were the only ones in the group so we received a "personal guided tour" of sorts. Sarah brings endless Scottish history and facts about the stops. We had already been to Loch Ness so Sarah adjusted the agenda which allowed us some extra time at the other stops. You are on a clock with this schedule so research these locations in advance if possible so you can focus on a few select areas to explore. Even without Loch Ness we wanted to spend more time at Culloden and Cawdor Castle. For you Outlander fans, Standing Stones has a link to the series. Sarah provided expert guidance on getting the most from the stops knowing that we couldn't do it all. She provided a brief and detailed directions on the popular aspects of a location so we could develop a game plan. A great day and highly recommend Sarah and/or her co-worker dad to lead a memorable and educational tour.
Best small group tour! Sarah was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and its history. We were able to see so much in a really small window of time. Highly recommend!
Of our 10 days in Scotland, this was my favorite day. I loved the small group with a guide, George, who provided information, knowledge and his experience of Scotish life to make this a personal and meaningful experience. We took in Scotland in a way that the big tours could never provide. George was amazing!
We had a wonderful time. Our guide Stephan, was informative, attentive and charming! The itinerary was lovely in particular if you were even a wee bit familiar with the history of the area. Ask for Stephan of “Go Highlands”, he will be the frosting on the cake.
our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. He gave insights on the history of the culloden battle, cawdor castle, and Loch ness and I do believe we saw a glimpse of Nessie! :-) He conducted the tour in his highland attire, kilt and all. Mystery if he was sporting his undergarments! We also took a side trip to see the breeder/exporter of the Budweiser Clydesdale horses. Do yourself a favor and take this excursion. Hopefully you will get the awesome weather to accompany this one and a lifetime experience.
