Culloden Battlefield Cottage
Invergordon Shore Excursion - Culloden, Clava Cairns and Cawdor Castle
Visit Culloden Battlefield, where the Jacobite rebellion met its tragic end, then explore Clava Cairns, a 4,000-year-old burial site that inspired Outlander. Finally, discover Cawdor Castle, with its grand interiors and stunning gardens.
This is exactly as you have imagined Scotland to be, the tour is an amazing concoction of culture, history, architecture, and unparalleled scenery.
Your first stop is Culloden Battlefield and Visitor Centre, where the last pitched battle was fought on Scottish soil. In just one hour on a fateful day in April 1746, more than 1,200 men lost their lives during the Jacobite's last rising. Walk the Culloden battlegrounds and view the interactive exhibitions that explain who the Jacobites were, what they were fighting for, the various military tactics used, and more. While here, observe the Fraser Stone, a marker commemorating Inverness' prominent Fraser clan who died in the battle.
Continue to the Culloden Railway Viaduct with its 29 spans crossing the River Nairn. Built-in 1898, it is the longest masonry viaduct in Scotland. At the Clava Cairns, you can see a well-preserved Bronze Age circular chamber tomb as well as ring cairns, kerb cairns, and other standing burial stones.
Visit the 13th-century Cawdor Castle, nestled among beautiful gardens, and enjoy a taste of uisge beatha (whisky) as you journey through the stunning Highlands back to port.
