Loch Ness & Highlands

A full day north through misty glens, ancient ruins and legendary waters, with a private guide and a separate driver, so your guide stays with you the whole way. If you wish, a whisky tasting at the historic Singleton of Glen Ord distillery can be added as an optional extra, before the road winds through the villages to the shores of Loch Ness.

Lunch is beside the loch, looking out over its mysterious depths. Afterwards come the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle on its promontory, where centuries of history sit above the water.

The afternoon turns to the ground where the Highlands changed hands. At Culloden Battlefield, your guide tells the story of the place where Scotland's fate was forged, and nearby the Clava Cairns, already four thousand years old before the battle was fought, close the day on its oldest note.
