About this tour
Explore the Scottish Highlands through the lens of Outlander, visiting eight pivotal locations across the Inverness region over a full day. This private guided tour connects the real places that inspired Diana Gabaldon's novels and the TV adaptation, including Culloden's historic battlefield, the Bronze Age mystery of Clava Cairns, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle's dramatic shoreline, plus lesser-known gems like Beauly Priory and the Wardlaw Mausoleum. Includes transport, a local guide, and a one-hour lunch break at your chosen spot.

What to expect
You'll travel by comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle between five key sites, each with its own historical weight. Your guide contextualises each location—explaining what happened there historically, then how it appears in the books and show. Expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour at each stop, with time to walk around, photograph, and absorb the landscape. The pace is unhurried; a one-hour lunch break lets you eat where you choose. Some sites, like Culloden and Urquhart Castle, charge separate admission, which you book independently. The route covers roughly 80 kilometres through the Highlands.
Good to know
Admission fees for Culloden Battlefield Exhibition (£11–£14) and Urquhart Castle (£13–£14.50) are separate and optional. Prams and specialist infant seats available. The tour involves standing and walking at each location; not suitable for those with cardiovascular concerns. Bring a waterproof layer—Highland weather is changeable.
