Secret Loch Ness with Cawdor Castle and Clava Cairns

Return journey: We WILL have you back to your ship around 1 hour prior to its departure time. We nearly always arrive back BEFORE the ship’s own buses. We’re very efficient and have been doing this for 7 years, serving thousands of cruise passengers every summer season. This carefully curated one-day Highland tour takes you beyond the obvious and into the soul of the Highlands. Departing from Inverness, you’ll experience the quieter north side of Loch Ness — a more remote and atmospheric stretch of the loch, rich in history, legend, and raw Highland beauty. The journey continues to the enchanting Cawdor Castle, tucked away in woodland and famed for its ancient past and romantic gardens. Step into powerful Scottish history at Culloden Battlefield, then visit the mysterious Clava Cairns, made famous by Outlander and steeped in ancient myth. Along the way, enjoy classic Highland scenery — rolling moorland, forest glens, and the chance to meet iconic Highland cows up close.
