Culloden Battlefield, Culloden Moor, United Kingdom The windswept moorland of Culloden could on first glance look like any Scottish hillside. However it soon becomes clear that this is a pivotal place the Jacobite story and the final battle to be fought on British soil.
We first pay a visit to the low-lying visitors centre that tells the story of the build up to The Battle of Culloden that took place at this location on the 16th of April 1746. The visitor experience is excellent and once we have learnt about the context and seen the treasure trove of artefacts on display your guide will take you onto the battle site.
It’s an evocative place which gives a true appreciation of the landscape and conditions that the Jacobites faced that day. The cairn that marks the location stands in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by the mass graves of the fallen, marked with basic tombstones. You’ll also visit the Leanach Cottage, a small croft building that doubled as a field hospital nearby. 60 minutes
Clava Cairns, Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom A Neolithic standing stone site, where Diana Gabaldon got her idea for the time travelling standing stones. 20 minutes
Cawdor Castle, Nairn, United Kingdom Cawdor castle is a fantastic visit and insight into the life of highland aristocracy of the region. Explore 15th-century Cawdor Castle, a great example of the changes culture, society and architecture over the course of time. In the 18th century the Thanes of Cawdor chose to follow Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite cause. After the Jacobite Rising of 1745 ended in defeat at Culloden, the family thought it prudent to excite to Wales and live on their lavish Welsh estates. And that proved to be prudent for the family as many Jacobite’s and Jacobite sympathisers faced arrest and deportation but it also meant that Cawdor was spared Victorian modification and thus remains a fascinating combination of an authentic medieval castle and a comfortable Jacobean house. Please note Cawdor Castle and Gardens will be open from 30th April 2022 until 2nd October, daily from 10am – 5.30pm (last entry 5pm)
Cawdor is still used as a family home and its lavish interiors. 60 minutes
Fort George, Inverness, United Kingdom After the Battle of Culloden there was a significant strengthening of the military in Scotland. One of four new barracks (and the largest) was built a short drive from Culloden at Fort George. Strategically located jutting into the waters of the Moray Firth, Fort George was built on a monumental scale, making use of modern defence standards, with heavy guns covering every angle.
Today it is a fascinating living museum. Stepping inside the ramparts is like stepping back in history almost 300 years. You’ll visit the Grand Magazine, Barracks, Highlanders’ Museum and the Chapel.

Daily, 9.30am to 5.30pm
Last entry 4.30pm

Wardlaw Mausoleum, Kirkhill, United Kingdom Wardlaw Mausoleum became the subject of intense media speculation when experts attempted to solve the mystery of infamous Jacobite Simon Fraser, who was the 11th Lord Lovat, known locally as ‘The Old Fox’. His story brought historians to this sleepy burial site in the small village of Kirkhill near Inverness.
Lovat did nothing to hide his Jacobean allegiance and as a result was executed for treason at The Tower of London in 1747. It was claimed that he was buried at the Tower of London, but that men from clan Fraser returned his headless remains to Scotland where he was buried in the family mausoleum. Learn the full story and twist in the plot when we visit. 20 minutes

Fantastic tour for people who are interested in photography and outdoor adventure! Ryan gave us loads of good tips and inspiration. We really enjoyed our day out - even in winter, Glen Affric is breathtaking! We got so many cool photos and memories to take home and Ryan was an amazing mentor and host. Would highly recommend this tour!!

I had a great day on the Glen Affric tour with Ryan. Glen Affric is a beautiful place with the glen, river, forest and mountains. Because you can reach multiple places from the same parking space, you don’t have to spend too much time in the car. With some photography tips from Ryan I got some good shots from the viewpoint and other places. Throughout the day I had nice conversations with Ryan. He was really helpful and never made the trip feel rushed. Thank you for the amazing day, I can definitely recommend people to book a tour with you!
