Step ashore in Invergordon and embark on an unforgettable journey through Scotland’s rich history and mystic landscapes. This shore excursion will transport you back in time to key moments in Scottish heritage, from ancient standing stones to legendary battlefields and noble castles. Experience the true essence of the Highlands with this carefully curated tour.
Culled in Battle: The Story of Culloden
Our first stop is the haunting and historically significant Culloden Battlefield. This is the site of the final confrontation of the Jacobite Rising in 1746, where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s forces met a tragic end against the British army. Wander across the windswept moor and feel the echoes of history as you visit the memorial cairns and headstones that mark the fallen clansmen. The award-winning Culloden Visitor Centre provides an immersive experience, complete with interactive displays and a gripping 360-degree battle simulation that brings this fateful day to life.
Mystical Stones of Clava Cairns
A short journey from Culloden takes us to the fascinating and atmospheric Clava Cairns, a prehistoric burial site that has stood for over 4,000 years. These ancient stone circles and passage tombs are believed to have been used for astronomical and ceremonial purposes. Fans of the Outlander series may find them eerily familiar, as they inspired the time-traveling stones in the books and TV show. Feel the magic of this sacred place and take in the mystical energy of Scotland’s past.
Cawdor Castle: A Fairytale Fortress
Our final stop is the enchanting Cawdor Castle, an iconic 14th-century fortress steeped in history and literary legend. Famously linked to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Cawdor is still home to the Cawdor family and offers a fascinating glimpse into noble life. Explore its beautifully preserved rooms, adorned with fine tapestries, antique furniture, and roaring fireplaces. Outside, the castle’s spectacular gardens—featuring a walled garden, maze, and tranquil woodland—offer the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll.
