Overview

The battles, beauty, and whisky: This is your perfect introduction to Scotland. You shed a tear as you hear the tales and tragedies of Scotland’s Jacobite Rising at the Culloden Battlefield. You try to take your best photo as you pass by Scotland’s famous mountains and castles. And you lick your lips as you drink in the spirit of Scottish whisky in Dufftown, ‘the Whisky Capital of the World’. What’s more, you get as close as possible to the legendary Loch Ness Monster on an optional boat trip. So, take this trip and enjoy the best of Scotland in a day.

Itinerary

  • Loch Ness

    Embark on a boat cruise. Onboard the ship, you travel over the widest and deepest part of the loch and get a fine view of Urquhart Castle.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Clava Cairns

    An ancient site of tombs, stone circles, and ruins. It may also have inspired the famous ‘time portal’ in the Outlander TV series.

    15 minutes

  • Culloden Battlefield

    Culloden*: the location of the final Jacobite Rising. It’s an eerie, flat, tragic landscape that can put the history of Scotland into perspective. The interactive exhibition centre here really brings it all to life. In less than an hour, around 1,500 men died in this battle. Explore the battlefield and learn how this tragedy came to pass. *The battle itself lasted 45 mins so stop to reflect that (45 mins enough time for battlefield visit which is free but not exhibition which has an admission fee- also there is a café & toilets available free)

    45 minutes

Chris is a great local tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Hi, We just came back from our day trip with Chris as tour guide. Chris is a great local guide with a lot of knowledge whats going on in and around Aberdeen as well as Scotland. We also enjoyed the traditional scottish music he was playing on the bus, while he was driving safely at all times. He was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Once again, thanks Chris for the great day, it was a pleasure!
