- Clava Cairns - Our first stop we find The Clava Cairns—or the Prehistoric Burial Cairns of Balnuaran of Clava—are all that remains of what was once a much larger Bronze Age burial complex. Dating back 4,000 years, the evocative cemetery site retains original features, including passage graves, standing stones, and ring cairns (stone circles).

Next, we’ll journey to a chilly, wet moor named Culloden, where a significant battle occurred in April 1746. This battle would forever alter the lives of the Highlanders. Here, you’ll get to visit the battleground where the brave Jacobites confronted King George II’s powerful army.
No Highland trip would be complete without visiting Loch Ness, the world’s most renowned Loch. Have your camera ready, just in case the elusive Nessie decides to show up.
Then, it’s time for some refreshments. We’ll sample ‘Nessie Water’ and savour some Gin at the award-winning Great Glen Distillery. You even get a complimentary dram!
Lastly, we’ll visit the picturesque Urquhart Castle, tucked away on the shores of Loch Ness. Explore a thousand years of history at this romantic spot.
