Clan Cumming Tour from Inverness – Itinerary
Join the Inverness Tour Guides on our Clan Cumming Tour from Inverness (which is also the Clan Comyn Tour from Inverness !) A powerful clan with a tumultuous history. Clan Cumming, also known as Clan Comyn, is a Scottish clan from the central Highlands that played a major role in the history of 13th century Scotland and in the Wars of Scottish Independence where they were among the clans who defeated the English at the Battle of Roslin in 1303. Join us as we explore the area the Cummings of Altyre once knew as home. Hear the stories of their rise through Scottish History.
Carrbridge
Visitors to Carrbridge always leave with a photo of the famous 1717 packhorse bridge, built so that residents could cross the water when the river was in spate. A short photoshop as we make our way into Comyn Clanland.
Lochindorb
Lochindorb comes from the Gaelic meaning ‘Loch of Trouble’ and the castle has certainly had its fair share of that! Dating back to the 13th century, it was originally held by the Comyns, At the end of the 14th century, it was gifted by Robert II to his third son, the notorious Wolf of Badenoch, Alexander Stewart,
Altyre Estate
Home of the Clan chief and a stunning setting on the banks of the Findhorn river it has been home to the Clan Cummings for 800 yrs
Lossiemouth
Journey through the quaint villages of the Morayshire coast and take time for a stroll on the beach at Cummingston. We will stop for lunch in Lossiemouth.
Glen Moray Distillery
No trip through Speyside would be complete without the chance to sample the product that has made the region famous. We can organise a tour for your or perhaps just time to stop by for a Tasting Flight. The choice is yours and you guide can advise.
Rait Castle
The Mackintoshes lost Rait Castle to the Comyns in the 1200’s. This ignited a feud which rumbled on until the mid 1400’s. There were many clashes in many places. The feud however, ended at the place it had begun – Rait Castle. The Mackintoshes massacred the Comyns, and the story we will tell you is a particularly gripping one. We can also explain why Rait has been haunted from that day to this

FAQ
Can each person in the party pay separately?
Driver/Guide licencing in Scotland will only allow us to take one payment per tour, so if people in a party wish to split the cost then they arrange that amongst themselves and make one tour payment to us.
Are entries to the various visitor attractions included?
We don’t include entry to the attractions – and that way we leave the day as flexible as possible for you.
Will I need cash with me?
Most places will accept Visa or MasterCard and some will accept American Express. It is always prudent, though, to bring a little cash with you for unexpected eventualities. You will need GBP, not Euros or Dollars.
What will we be doing for lunch?
You are responsible for paying for your own food & drink during your tour. Lunch could be in a café, pub, restaurant or even a picnic at a beauty spot. Your guide can discuss and advise on options when you meet them.
