Description

Meet Cath, an Invernessian, an experienced and qualified tourist guide for your full-day guided private driving tour (maximum 3 persons on tour). Your journey will take in Scottish Castles, Loch Ness, and ancient monuments.
You can choose from a visit to Cawdor Castle, an 18th-century Highland Castle and Gardens, or Fort George, one of the most outstanding fortifications in Europe. If you have any other requests, please contact the guide directly.
You will visit a 4,000-year-old chambered burial ground which featured in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series of books and TV shows. If you are looking for Jamie Fraser, this is the tour for you. Pass through the ancient Clan Fraser lands on your journey.
Visit the last pitched battleground on mainland Britain, Culloden Battlefield. Take a walking tour of the site and find out why there was such a devastating loss of life during the battle, causing an end to the Jacobite era.
Drive along Loch Ness to see if you can spot the loch’s most famous resident, Nessie. Stop for a photo opportunity of the loch and picturesque Urquhart Castle. Visit the pretty Highland village of Drumnadrochit, then follow the rugged landscape of Glen Urquhart to the village of Beauly.
Stop a while in Beauly and visit the 13th-century priory, the burial chamber of some of the Fraser, Mackenzie, and MacRae clans. No trip to the Highlands would be complete without a visit to a distillery. Stop for a whisky tasting at Ord Distillery, Muir of Ord.
