Private Inverness tour with St Andrew’s Cathedral, Loch Ness at Urquhart, Culloden, Clava Cairns, Beauly, whisky tasting, and Cawdor Castle.
“From beginning to end our tour with Mike from Historic & Scenic Tours, Inverness, was a fantastic experience. We began at Culloden on a beautiful day and walked leisurely while Mike filled us in on the history of the battle. We could choose to visit the museum there, but we declined. Next we went to Clava Cairns and soaked in the beauty of the ancient stones and the surrounding trees and fields. October is a perfect time to visit Scotland. Cawdor Castle was already closed for the season, so we went to Fort George instead. Next we made a stop at the Singleton Distillery where a flight of three whiskies…”
