Itinerary
Excursion
Cawdor Castle
Cawdor Castle
With an early start from Aberdeen our first stop will be at Cawdor Castle. The castle dates from the late 14th century, built as a private fortress by the Thanes of Cawdor. An ancient medieval tower built around the legendary holly tree. We believe Cawdor Castle is a truly extraordinary place. Whether you are exploring one of the three gardens or visiting the castle itself this stop will fill you with happy memories.
Excursion
Culloden Moor
Culloden Moor
Marking the spot of the last major battle on British soil, the wild moor at Culloden is the resting place of 1,500 Jacobite and 50 Government soldiers who fought and died here in 1746.
Excursion
Enjoy lunch with a view of Loch Ness
Enjoy lunch with a view of Loch Ness
Time for lunch and we highly recommend visiting the Dores Inn on the shores of Loch Ness. On a cold day you can relax by the cosy log fire and enjoy lunch from a varied menu of home cooked food. On a nice day, you can eat out on the sun terrace or enjoy a drink or two from the ‘The OutDores Inn’ bar soaking up the rays in the large beer garden.
