A Deep Dive into the Jacobite Story

If you want to understand the soul of the Scottish Highlands, this is the essential route. It covers ancient Neolithic history, medieval romance, and the tragic end of the clan system.

This shorter, highly civilized tour is perfectly paced for those who want a rich cultural experience without spending 10 hours in a vehicle. It leaves your evening completely free for dining in Inverness.

09:30

Relaxed Morning Departure

Clava Cairns

Step back 4,000 years into the Bronze Age. Wander among these incredibly preserved standing stones and burial chambers (the inspiration for Outlander's Craigh na Dun).
