Clava Cairns - Begin your adventure at Clava Cairns, a group of Bronze Age circular chamber tombs surrounded by standing stones. This ancient site is said to have inspired the standing stones in the Outlander series. Explore the cairns and the surrounding area, which are believed to be aligned with the movements of the sun, particularly during the winter solstice. Enjoy this tour around the site to delve into its archaeological and historical significance, and learn about its connection to the Outlander series.
Culloden Battlefield - Continue to Culloden Battlefield, where the 1746 Battle of Culloden took place. This poignant site marks the last major battle fought on British soil and plays a crucial role in the Outlander story.

Admission into the Visitor Centre is available at an additional cost.
Cawdor Castle - Visit Cawdor Castle, a beautiful and historic fortification that offers a glimpse into what a castle would have looked like during the Jacobite era. Tour the castle’s well-preserved rooms and lush gardens. Learn about the daily life and defences of a Scottish castle, enriching your understanding of the historical period featured in Outlander.
The Eagle Stone - Also known as Clach an Tiompain, it is tied to the prophecies of the Brahan Seer, which are referenced in the Outlander series. Engage with the local legends surrounding this mysterious standing stone and reflect on the intertwining of folklore and history that enriches the Scottish Highlands.
