Heldags Outlander Experience (inklusive Invergordon Cruise Port)
Beskrivning
Ge dig ut på en exklusiv resa genom tiden och avslöja antika platser, avgörande slagfält och ikoniska slott som kapslar in kärnan i den skotska höglandskulturen. Denna privata turné börjar 4000 år i det förflutna vid Clava Cairns. Detta är en mystisk plats för dyrkan, begravning och offer. Jämförelser har gjorts med 'Craig na Dun'. På Culloden Battlefield' tar jag dig på en rundtur i 'ground zero' för höglandets livsstil och kultur. Denna upplevelse kommer att förklara för dig hur Skottland brukade vara, vad som hände och hur det är nu. Vidare till 'Cawdor Castle. Detta är ett imponerande tornhus från 1400-talet och nämndes i Shakespeares pjäs Macbeth. (Ett alternativ till Urquhart Castle kommer att erbjudas under vintersäsongen, oktober–april.) Eftermiddagen är mer avslappnad, med en naturskön bilresa nerför Loch Ness för en plats för monsterjakt. Sedan av Robertsons gård i Beauly för att se de inhemska Highland Cows.

Resplan
Denna vackra by ligger väster om Inverness, med kungliga rötter och fascinerande attraktioner. Legender säger att besökande kungligheter, Mary, drottning av Skottland, kommenterade "C'est un beau lieu" när hon först såg staden, och namnet "Beau Lieu" har fastnat sedan dess!
Besökare flockas till Loch Ness i hopp om att få en glimt av dess svårfångade och självbetitlade monster, Loch Ness. Den här sjön i det skotska höglandet är värt resan, även om du inte tror på ryktena. Loch Ness är vidsträckt och omgivet av magnifik skotsk natur och är en populär plats för båtliv och sightseeing.
Clava Cairns – eller de förhistoriska gravrösenen i Balnuaran of Clava – är allt som finns kvar av det som en gång var ett mycket större begravningskomplex från bronsåldern. Den suggestiva kyrkogårdsplatsen har anor från 4 000 år och har behållit sina ursprungliga egenskaper, inklusive gånggravar, stående stenar och ringrösen (stencirklar).
Culloden Battlefield var platsen för en av de sista striderna som ägde rum på brittisk mark. Den 16 april 1746 mötte Bonnie Prince Charlie och hans armé på 5 000 jakobitiska högländare mot hertigen av Cumberland och 9 000 Hannoverska regeringstrupper. Även om jakobiterna kämpade tappert, besegrades de till slut, vilket resulterade i eliminering av det skotska klansystemet och undertryckandet av höglandskulturen. Idag återberättar Culloden Battlefield Visitor Center händelserna under den ödesdigra dagen genom interaktiva utställningar som sätter resenärerna i händelsernas centrum.
Ett romantiskt sagoslott som har varit hem för Thanes of Cawdor sedan 1370, Cawdor har utvecklats till en charmig familjeherrgård och det mest enastående av ståtliga hem. Det dramatiska medeltida tornet, fängelsehålan, tornen, slagfälten och vindbryggan motsäger en förtrollande interiör av konst, gobelänger och möbler som skapar den varma och välkomnande känslan av ett hem snarare än ett museum. Slottet, som ligger i fantastiska marker med tre vackra och varierade trädgårdar, är omgivet av det magnifika Cawdor Big Wood, ett av de finaste skogsområdena i Europa, med färgkodade naturstigar att utforska. (Alternativ till Urquhart Castle under vintern okt-april)

Amy makes Scotland come alive, her knowledge of the history of Scotland and its rich heritage comes alive. Amy thinks of everything along with everyone’s comfort being met. Her new van is so spacious and comfortable better than flying any day! Would definitely book another tour.
The day was perfect! Amy was so thoughtful. She was full of knowledge and made the trip an excellent experience She even brought us snacks for us to enjoy during the tour.
Amy organized a bespoke whisky tour with stops at two distilleries. Because of her superb planning, she was able to add in a third distillery! Amy is a safe driver, knowledgeable guide, and great conversationalist. I cannot recommend her enough.
Absolutely brilliant day out. Amy's knowledge of the history of Scotland is contagious. Amy made the Culloden battlefield come alive with her story telling and passion for Scotland. I went as a child to Culloden but returning as an adult was sobering and reflective. I would 100 percent recommend Atom Tours, ps loved the Scottish snacks she gave us!
We had a wonderful day with Amy as our tour guide. Highlights were visiting Clara cairns and the Culloden battlefield. Amy’s knowledge of the history and area were amazing and we all loved the addition of music on the tour to add to the experience As a guide Amy is so patient, attentive and welcomes questions! Her passion and enthusiasm for the area is inspiring. I went home and watched 2 episodes of Outlander having never watched it before! So I recommend ATOM tours you won’t be disappointed with Amy as your guide!
We had an amazing Outlander tour with Amy! Not only did she guide us to all of the local Outlander sites, she entertained and educated us about the history of Scotland! Amy is so knowledgeable about Scotland, and her passion for her country really shines! She is also lovely to spend the day with and was very kind to my two kiddos!
If you love Outlander—or simply enjoy a great day out—this tour with Atom Tours is an absolute must! The entire experience was fun, well-organized, and full of surprises. Our guide, Amy, was fantastic: knowledgeable, engaging, and full of captivating stories. A real highlight was visiting Culloden Moor, a truly moving experience that brought history vividly to life. Honestly, every stop felt like its own little adventure, making the day simply amazing. We celebrated a friend’s birthday on this tour, and it turned out to be a brilliant way to mark the occasion! With a perfect blend of history, stunning locations, and Outlander magic, this tour is unforgettable. Even if you’re not a die-hard fan, you’ll love every moment. Highly recommend—especially with Amy as your guide!
We enjoyed a day filled with fun, delicious food, and fascinating information. Amy proved to be an exceptional tour guide, and our sunset visit to Culloden Battlefield was especially atmospheric. I learned so much about Scottish history and truly loved the experience. Amy ensured the day was completely stress-free and catered to all our needs, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
Amy took me and some friends on a surprise OUTLANDER tour for my birthday and packed the day with surprises from start to finish - even the complimentary single malt on departure! All along the way, we were mesmerised by the tales, stories and history of Scotland and in-depth comparisons with the Outlander narrative. Stopping off in Forres, before arriving at Glen Ord Distillery for a tour and to fill my very own bottle of Cask Strength Singleton, before heading to The Priory in Beully, then Loch Ness for some Nessy spotting, then onto a private lunch at The Loch Ness Country House, then onto Culloden Battlefield for the best insight into the horrors and complications of that sad day in history and then on to the Pictish Cairns at Cawdor before being dropped of exactly on time for evening dinner in Elgin! - Timings were to military perfection - Banter was of the scale - Attention to detail was above and beyond! Loved it all and would highly recommend!
I booked this tour thru Tours by Locals website and choose Amy and her company, and I am so happy that I did. Amy picked us up promptly at scheduled time and explained to us the itinerary for our day. Even though I booked the Outlander Experience I was the only one in my family who even watched Outlander!! We went to Clava Cairns, Culloden, Cawdor Castle (definitely eat lunch at the cafe there-So good!), Loch Ness, went up into the Highlands and ended with seeing some Highland Coos! The enthusiasm and love of her country is evident when Amy is sharing the Scottish history with us. I loved how she built the story for us throughout the day of everywhere we visited. She is an incredible storyteller and historian. I felt like I was in my favorite history class. You know when someone can make you see the history in your mind, they are great! Amy does just that! She kept us timely without making us feel rushed and she is a very good driver and keeps everyone safe! I especially loved the trip up the road in the Highlands where we stopped for a bit and she shared (she did not drink any) a wee bit of Scottish Whiskey from her hometown with my brother in laws and myself. When I come back again, I will not hesitate to book another tour with Amy! You should too!! Thank you, Amy, and what a delightful person and excellent historian you are!!
