Additional Information

Take a walk with Cath, a local to the area and an experienced and qualified tourist guide, around her beautiful city of Inverness. A Walk Inverness tour contains lots of local history, beautiful scenery, architecture, and romantic (yet sometimes bloody) tales that have, over time, shaped Inverness into the thriving city that stands today.

In the true spirit of Outlander, find out more about the short but final confrontation of the Jacobite Rising, the Battle of Culloden in 1746, in which the fate of between 1500 Jacobites was sealed by a poor decision and a hostile terrain.

Cath will fascinate you with references to Outlander along with life in 18th-century Inverness right up to the present day. Sharing stories of clan history, folklore, and legends. Step even further back in time to 565 AD and learn about St. Columba’s visit to the Highlands.

Fab walking tour! - Cath was very welcoming and friendly when we joined the group, very easy to find her too! The tour around Inverness was really fun, Cath was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and as a local she had her own stories and memories to share which made the experience even better, you feel immersed in the city! It was great to visit a lot of local smaller businesses we wouldn't have immediately thought of to go and see. She was great for giving recommendations for other attractions and areas in the city to visit and places to eat. I would definitely recommend any tour with Cath!

Fun way to get to see Inverness City Centre - The surroundings of Inverness are incredibly tempting to those of us that want to be outside exploring but if you are looking to spend some time exploring the city take the time to explore the city centre with a guide. You will see all the history of Inverness, learn the stories, admire the River, find the best cafes, make new friends and admire the overlook of the Castle. Enjoy.
