Clava Cairns
A short distance from Culloden Battlefield finds the ancient Clava Cairns. This location is well visited and the Cairns and standing stones are believed to be approximately 4000 years old. This is a well maintained area and although not paved is accessible to all. Access to the centre of the Cairns is also available. The largest of the standing stones is very popular to recreate that "Outlander " moment of transportation through the stone and back in time as done by both Clair and Brianna many times!!!!

Travel to the country village of Cawdor a few miles to the East of both Culloden and Clava.

The Castle itself has that mythical connection to William Shakespeare tragedy "Macbeth" The Castle is well maintained and open to the public on an admission fee, this enables access to the castle itself and its many rooms and well preserved architecture. Guests also get access to the splendour of the castle Gardens which are very well presented and maintained.

Urquhart Castle
Urquart Castle overlooks Loch ness from its rocky point just west of Drumnadrochit. The castle has history dating way back and in 1296 it was said to have been taken by the English when Edward 1 invaded Scotland. It was however reclaimed by the Scots but lost again later to the English yet again. The ground of the Castle are very well cared for enabling visitors the opportunity to walk down through the grounds taking in the vast Loch to either side of the Castle. There is an additional cost for admission to the Castle.

Beauly Priory
Visit Beauly and the Old Priory building. Beauly was again another Highland location mentioned heavily in Outlander and is the home of Lord Lovat again mentioned in Outlander. Old Priory Beauly is a well visited location and the ruins look spectacular in its current state. It is estimated to have been founded in 1230. The French monks, had a strong enough French-speaking presence to give the location and the river the name "beau lieu" ("beautiful place") and have it pass into English. An alternative story about the naming of Beauly village is that 'Mary, Queen of Scots' was said to have been travelling through the area, in her late teens and popped her head out of the Carriage window and uttered the words 'Beau Lieu' (beautiful place). It is not the best documented abbey, and few of the priors of Beauly are known by name until the 14th century. It became Cistercian on 16 April 1510, after the suppression of the Valliscaulian Order by the Pope.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience with Bob!
Bob was absolutely wonderful and truly the best guide we’ve had. He was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and made our day around the Isle of Skye unforgettable. We visited the Fairy Pools, Dunvegan Castle, and even some wonderful local spots we never would have experienced on our own. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we hoped for while giving us a genuine local experience. If you are visiting Skye, book with Bob - you will not regret it. He made our trip so special and was one of the highlights of our time in Scotland!

Scottish Highlands Golf Tour
Bob did a wonderful job guiding us through the Highlands for our week long golf trip. He also picked us up and dropped us off in Edinburgh to start and end our journey. He was on time, knowledgeable and great to be around. His Mercedes was comfortable and spotless. Before the trip Bob arranged caddies for us which was a huge help. Definitely using Caledonia Supreme Tours and Transfers for out next Scotland adventure.

A very special Scotland experience
Our tour made Scotland come alive. Our tour guide David Ogilvie was highly informative in regard to the history and natural beauty of Scotland. He was also a great guide to the fabulous distilleries. He could not have been more gracious and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in an outstanding experience in Scotland
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us, it is very much appreciated. I am delighted that you enjoyed your time in the Highlands. Safe travels and thanks again.

Scottish Highlands Gem!
We had a wonderful experience with Bob from Caledonia Supreme Tours & Transfers. Being a Northern Highlands local, he showed us all of the sites in the Highlands around Inverness as well as a stop at a local distillery and castle. Being a retired 30 yr policeman, he was chock full of great information. I highly recommend him!
Response from the operator: Hi there, glad you enjoyed your day out in the Highlands. Thank you for taking the time to review its very much appreciated. Thanks again and safe travels. Bob

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Inverness.
How much does Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland cost?
+
Prices start at $851 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Inverness usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Inverness is not rushed.
Is Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Inverness, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Inverness can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Inverness and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Executive Travel & Guided Tours through the Highlands of Scotland start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Inverness within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Inverness?
+
On Outty we rank every Inverness experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Ultimate Isle of Skye Day Tour from Inverness, Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle Day Tour from Inverness, Loch Ness, Outlander & Urquhart Castle from Inverness. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Inverness?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Inverness?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
