Itinerário
Loch Ness tem 23 milhas de comprimento e em seu ponto mais largo tem apenas 1,5 milhas de largura. Nessie foi visto pela primeira vez por St. Columba em 564 AD. Todos os anos, as pessoas relatam avistamentos - em 2017 houve 11 avistamentos e em 2018 houve 13 avistamentos. Mantenha os olhos abertos enquanto viajamos ao redor do lago. Nossa primeira parada é no pouso de Wellington, onde em 31 de dezembro de 1939 um Wellington Bomber da RAF Lossiemouth foi forçado a abandonar após sofrer uma falha no motor. Os restos do bombardeiro foram recuperados em 1985 e foi totalmente restaurado e está agora no Museu Brooklands em Weybridge em Surrey.
Continuando por Drumnadrochit chegamos ao Castelo de Urquhart sentado em um promontório rochoso com vistas fantásticas sobre o Lago Ness. Este castelo de 800 anos teve uma história turbulenta e sangrenta. Explore as ruínas e o centro de visitantes.
Beauly Priory está atualmente fechado devido aos recentes ventos fortes que causaram a queda da alvenaria, não sabemos quando será reaberto. Ainda visitaremos Beauly, onde você poderá ver o Priorado desde o portão. Saindo do Castelo de Urquhart, voltamos para Drumnadrochit e pegamos a Culnakirk Hill Road em direção a Beauly e nossa próxima parada, Beauly Priory. O priorado foi fundado no século XIII por monges da ordem Valliscaulian. No terreno do priorado encontrará o Beauly Elm Tree, esta árvore tem 800 anos e é o olmo mais antigo da Europa.
Castelo de Cawdor reabre em 27 de abril de 2024 O Castelo de Cawdor é o lar dos Thanes de Cawdor desde 1370. O castelo está situado em terrenos e jardins deslumbrantes e é cercado pelo magnífico Cawdor Big Wood, uma das melhores áreas florestais da Europa.
Voltamos para Inverness para Clava Cairns. Os Clava Cairns têm 4000 anos e a área é um antigo cemitério. Os locais contêm uma série de monumentos funerários pré-históricos e os restos de uma capela medieval. Os Clava Cairns inspiraram Creag Na Dun na série Outlander e a Cleft Stone pode ser encontrada aqui.
A menos de um quilômetro e meio de Clava Cairns fica o Campo de Batalha de Culloden, onde em 16 de abril de 1746 foi travada a última batalha em solo britânico e a Revolta Jacobita final chegou a um fim brutal. Em menos de uma hora, 1.600 homens foram mortos, 1.500 deles jacobitas. Isso mudaria para sempre o modo de vida nas Highlands. Caminhe ao redor do campo de batalha e veja o marco memorial e as pedras do enterro do clã, e visite o centro de visitantes.
Passamos pelo Castelo de Inverness, onde você verá nos jardins do castelo uma estátua de Flora Macdonald, famosa por ajudar Bonnie Prince Charlie a escapar após a Batalha de Culloden.
A Catedral de Inverness é a catedral anglicana mais ao norte do Reino Unido. A Catedral foi encomendada pelo Bispo Eden e foi concluída em 1866.

Wonderful experience. Our guide, Lewis, was polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Accommodated us by adjusting the schedule with our reservations for a later visit to Edinburgh. Made sure we made it back in time for boarding our cruise. Great time! Plus we were traveling with three children, 8, 13, and 15.
Hello Jason , Thank you for this lovely review , Lewis is an excellent guide and a really nice person as well and I am delighted you enjoyed your day with him. Keep well and all the best Lawrence
This tour was great! Lawrence was so knowledgeable and entertaining. He customized our tour to our interests and the pickup and drop-off were perfect. Highly recommend.
Hello Isobel , Thank you for your lovely review , it was my pleasure taking you around the area and I am delighted you enjoyed your day. Keep well and all the best. Lawrence
This experience was THE highlight of our Scotland trip - we booked 3 separate trips with them (2 transfer tours and one Loch Ness tour) and every day was truly amazing. Lawrence and Billy are locals and have so much knowledge about the Highlands and history that everyone will learn something, AND be entertained along the way. They truly know how to make every stop memorable, and they went above and beyond for our group of 4 with each stop. There is no need to look at any other tour or transfer company, I highly recommend them and we would never book with anyone else! 🙂
Hello Lyn , Thank you for your lovely review , Billy and myself thoroughly enjoyed your company during your tours with us. We are delighted you enjoyed your time spent with us and hopefully we will see you back again in the Highlands at some point. Keep well and all the best Lawrence
Kevin was wonderful! We had such a fun day. We really got a taste of what the Highlands offer exploring castles, battlefields, a distillery, historic sites, and we even got to pat some coos! We simply could not have had a better experience with a better guide! Thank you, Kevin!
Hello Sallie , Thank you for your lovely review , Kevin is an excellent tour guide and always delivers superb experiences for our guests. I am delighted you enjoyed your day with Kevin. Keep well and all the best Lawrence
Excellent full day tour taking in all the sites on our wish list plus more. Our driver and guide, Billy, was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Hi Marylou Thanks for this kind review and I'm glad you all had a great time Kind regards Billy

Hi Bonnie It was a great pleasure to take you and your fun loving group around for the day and I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves Kind regards Billy
Lawrence was excellent,a very nice tour and very knowledgeable of all the history. He was attentive and loved his little extras.
Hello Eduardo , Thank you so much for your lovely review , it was my pleasure taking your family around. Keep well and all the best Lawrence
This was more than a tour of various sights. Our guide Lawrence, who owns this company with his brother Billy, wove all the stops and more together with a running tale like episodes on a TV series. UK history is deeper and longer than what we Americans have with the Scottish royalty, uEnglish Lords and the many clans. Lawrence was factual, informative and fun. He was a delightful raconteur and he created a perfect day for us.
Hello Mary , Thank you for your kind review , I am so pleased you enjoyed your tour and hopefully we may see you back again in the Highlands. Keep well and all the best Lawrence
Lawrence did a superb job in helping us to see Northern Scotland. We customized our tour and he was very receptive to places we wanted to go. He is very knowledgeable and helped us understand some of the history of this great land. Our trip was less stressful as he did all the driving! Don't hesitate to hire him!
Hello Janet , Thank you for your kind review , it was a pleasure to take you around the Clan Gunn area and I am delighted you enjoyed the tour. Keep well and all the best. Lawrence
We (2 couples) spent a wonderful day with Kevin. Kevin was very attentive and knowledgeable about the area and sights we visited. We greatly appreciated Kevin's advice and guidance the entire day. Would not hesitate to spend another day with Kevin!
Hi Peggy Thanks for this kind review of your day with Kevin and we are glad you all enjoyed it and hopefully see you back one day Kind regards Billy
