Itinerary

Loch Ness

15 min

Stop on the shores of Loch Ness to learn more about the loch and the world famous monster which lurks in the dark waters.

Alternatively you can take a cruise on the Loch - our favourite way to enjoy Loch Ness.
Urquhart Castle

one hour Admission not included

Watch a short video about Urquhart Castle before exploring the historic ruins.
Inverness Cathedral

Passing by

The majority of our guests enjoy a drive through Inverness for views of the river, town house and castle.

There is of course the option to stop in Inverness to see the cathedral or go for a wander around the city should you wish to do so.
Culloden Battlefield

one hour Admission not included

A popular stop on the tour is Culloden Battlefield, the site of the last pitched battle on British soil. There's a really good visitor centre here with a 360 cinema which puts you right at the heart of the battle.

The alternative is to take a walk around the battlefield, visit the cairn and take a look around Leanach cottage.
Clava Cairns

20 min

From the battlefield it's only a short drive to the Culloden Viaduct and Clava Cairns which features a selection of standing stones and is an interesting example of a well preserved Bronze Age cemetery.
Stop 6

one hour Admission not included

Cawdor Castle is one of our favourite castles in Scotland. Still used as a family home its kind owner moves out in April to allow guests a chance to wander her castle and grounds.

Top tip: we love wandering around the walled gardens.
Black Isle Brewery

20 min Admission not included

If beer is your thing we highly recommend visiting the Black Isle Brewery on your way back to the ship.

With a range of beers to choose from they will kindly let you try them for free.

Invergordon

We meet all guests just outside the gates of the Invergordon Port. You will be met from the ship at the end of the pier at a pre-arranged time which suits your group. Usually as early as possible so that you can make the most of your day and hit the attractions before the cruise crowds descend.
