This tour explores two great attractions just 20 minutes east of Inverness. The first stop is at Cawdor Castle and Gardens, seat of the Campbell family since the 14th century. The tour then has a brief stop at Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age burial chamber site, made famous as the location where ‘Claire’ in the Outlander series, is transported back in time to the Jacobite rebellion of 1745. The tour concludes at the infamous battlefield site at Culloden, with its excellent visitor centre, that brings this terrible confrontation to life.
Cawdor Castle is a classic Scottish fortress, located on the Cawdor estate, with its many acres of fertile agricultural land and extensive woodland. The castle itself is full of interesting rooms and priceless furniture and tapestries, artwork and antiques and even a collection of french muskets captured from a french raiding party in Wales! Guests can also enjoy the beautifully presented gardens, two gift shops and a cafe. After leaving Cawdor, we travel west and into the River Nairn valley, where we stop at Clava Cairns, a burial site of significance, that dates back to 2000 BC. This is especially popular with fans of the Outlander series, as it is here that Claire travels back in time to the Jacobite rebellion period. Fittingly the tour concludes at Culloden, the site of a very one-sided battle in 1746, in which the British Army defeated a Highland army, made up of various clans and led by Bonnie Prince Charles.
