Description
Explore the Scottish Highlands on a tour from Invergordon. Visit Beauly, Loch Ness, Inverness, Culloden Battlefield, Clava Cairns
Depart from Invergordon and head south through the historic market town of Dingwall. Arrive in the charming Highland village of Beauly, known for its unique retail outlets and the ancient Beauly Priory ruins. Visit Robertson's Farm, home to Jamie and Morag, two splendid Highland Cows.
Continue along some scenic Highland back roads, and arrive at the western shore of Loch Ness. Capture breathtaking views of the legendary loch and its surrounding hills. Keep an eye out for Nessie—the elusive Loch Ness monster.
Travel north alongside Loch Ness, crossing the Caledonian Canal, and reach the Highland capital city of Inverness. Explore at your own pace, visiting landmarks like St. Andrew’s Cathedral and the picturesque Ness Islands. Explore fascinating shops and boutiques, and indulge in lunch at one of the many fine local eateries.
Visit the Clava Cairns. Tucked away in a beautiful woodland setting near Culloden, to the east of Inverness, these ancient burial cairns are 4000 years old. Reflect on the lives of those who rested here in the serenity of Strath Nairn.
