One-Day Classic Outlander Tour from Inverness
Our One-Day Classic Outlander Tour from Inverness sees some of the most memorable of the sites so well-described in the Outlander story. We begin the day with a visit to Clava Cairns, followed by poignant Culloden Battlefield. The Clanlands Exhibition (when open) is next, and a drive-by at Castle Leod. The day concludes with a Weapons demonstration and a visit to Beauly (Priory and Hairy Coos).
Clava Cairns and Standing Stones
Clava Cairns and Standing Stones are 4,000 years old and are a ritual landscape of fantastic design and spirituality. These Bronze Age monuments align on both sun and moon, and could be viewed as a temple of astronomy. Outlander fans love Clava because it has a split stone, just like the book, where you could tumble backwards in time! May 1st (Beltane) and November 1st (Samhain) are the days when the Stones are allegedly at their most active. The former is when Claire fell through time in the book, and the latter when it happened in the show!
Culloden Battlefield
Culloden Battlefield, site of the last battle on British soil, stands atop a ridge, four miles from Inverness. Here, Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobite army met a final and chilling end. This story is well-told in the multi-media centre onsite. We will walk you to the Well of the Dead, the Main Cairn and the Clan Fraser Stone. Those fallen clansmen lie in mass graves here.
Clanlands Exhibition
In high season Clan Munro operate a fabulous exhibition centre in an old 1740’s agricultural storehouse. The clan still value the building today, as it now preserves stories of a thousand years of land and people. Two are particularly relevant The “Clanlands” and the “What is a Clan” exhibitions in particular give great insights into the history and culture surrounding Outlander.
Castle Leod
Castle Leod is a 1500’s Scottish tower house, and home to the chief of the Clan Mackenzie. It is seen as the inspiration behind Castle Leoch, and Diana has therefore been a guest here on occasion. We like to give time for a walk up the impressive drive and as a result the opportunity for photographs.
Weapons Demonstration
A weapons demonstration is our next stop. You will receive a presentation on the weapons of the 1700’s within a special historic building. We have a couple of great places we can use, depending on availability.
Beauly
Beauly, a pretty market town, was the main settlement for the Lovat Frasers. The ruined priory, dating from the 1200’s, was in the Outlander books, as was Beauly harbour. Beauly is popular with our visitors because it has a wide range of interesting shops and hotels. We also like to visit with some highland cows here, because of Claire using hairy coos to rescue Jamie.

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.
