- Clava Cairns - Stones that date back around 4000 years (yes 4000) thats older than the pyramids… Touch the biggest one… thats what Claire did! I dare you :)

- Clava Cairns - Stones that date back around 4000 years (yes 4000) thats older than the pyramids… Touch the biggest one… thats what Claire did! I dare you :)
- Culloden Battlefield - This is where series one ends… the Battle of Culloden, see the wee hoose Claire turns into a wee makeshift hospital then the lads use it to hide out. A solemn place, the last battle fought between Scots, Clans, English and even some Irish
- Loch Ness - Here you will also get fabulous views of Loch Ness and have a chance to go down to it’s banks in the hope of seeing the ‘Water horse’ which so entranced Claire Randall (or Nessie, as she’s better known around these parts!)
-
Great Glen Distillery - At this stop we will be taking some time to taste this award winning Gin.Taking its name from the fault line that divides the Highlands, our distillery sources natural and local ingredients to give you a little taste of our majestic surroundings.
Great Glen is both Scotland’s newest and, proudly, its smallest craft distillery. Harnessing the elements of a wild place, this smooth, earthy gin is a love letter to nature. - Urquhart Castle - Urquhart Castle is probably one of the most photographed castles in Scotland, dating from around the 13th Century (But has settlement finds on the site dating back to prehistoric times.) It’s position on the Loch provides the perfect backdrop for viewing and photographing Loch Ness (with or without the monster).
-
Beauly Priory - The Beautiful village of Beauly was where Claire and Jamie were heading to early in season one.
Beauly Priory was a Valliscaulian monastic community located at “Insula de Achenbady”, now Beauly, Inverness-shire. It was probably founded around 1230. It is not known for certain who the founder was, different sources giving Alexander II of Scotland or John Byset.

Wonderful excursion, highly recommend - Our tour guide Allistar was amazing. Very knowledgeable. My favorite part was Clava Cairns. Took beautiful pictures and touched the stones. Everything else was just as spectacular. We saw so much of the countryside and the guide was very good about changing plans as needed. They picked us up perfectly and back to the ship on time. Highly recommend.

A great time in the Highlands! - Richie was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable on the area and the book and series Outlander😀. He even ensured we saw Nessie. I was nervous booking an excursion not provided by the cruise, but no longer. The experience was so much better with a small group and we were able to see more. Better value than ship excursions.

A magical day with a fascinating guide - This was a magical day with a fascinating guide in George whose knowledge of history and folklore nit mention Outlander was simply beyond anything we could have wished for. George was flexible and change the itinerary due to weather and was all in all inspirational. We have traveled the world and this is one of the best trips we have ever taken! If you only do one thing in the Highlands the this should be it!! Thank you George and Go Highland

Invergordon Cruise Tour to Outlander Sites - George's of Go Highlands provided us with a great small group excursion to Outlander sites in Scotland. We had a great time listening to his stories and visiting the sites. Clava Cairns, Culloden Battlefield, Urquart Castle and Loch Ness. Great tour that got us back to the ship in Invergordon right on time.

Weather was warm and sunny, which highlighted a great day with this excursion. - Our guide was Alistair, who was really excellent tour guide. Wide knowledge and passion for all things not only around Inverness but also Scotland. Highly recommend!
Also the sites we visited were really good, I think we got most of our cruise stop in Invergordon

Outlander - Loch Ness was so much bigger than I imagined. Sarah drove well and gave us excellent commentary. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day.

Fantastic Tour with lots of things to see !!! - We booked our tour directly with Go Highlands Tours. fast and easy booking, at an affordable price. When arriving at Invergordon port with Aida, we were surprised of being the only guests for this tour. So Alastair made it a remarkable private tour for us. He showed us all around the interesting and fascinating places, had a lot to explain and really some in-depth knowledge on the history of the Scottish clans and the riots against the British. We had plenty of time, no stress at all, a nice and clean car. Alastair made it a remarkable trip for us and I would recommend everyone to book there - we also met George, the other owner of Go Highlands - and he seems a one-of-a-kind man. So, both guides are great. We´re certainly coming back to Scotland. And- by the way- the weather was quite okay !!!

Lots of the Highlands and hardly any Outlander. - Our guide George was the best part of this tour. Personable and very knowledgeable. The only Outlander connection was a short rainy visit to Culloden battlefield.
