What makes Loch Ness, Outlander and Highlands Private Chauffeur Tour from Inverness a unique experience ?
Abertarff House is the oldest house in Inverness. Located in Church Street, it’s a 2½ storey town house with turnpike stairway. It was previously owned by the Fraser of Lovat family, whose clansmen fought on the Jacobite side at the Battle of Culloden and featured heavily in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series.
Clava Cairns is the site of a mystical bronze age burial complex thought to be 4000 years old. Located not far from Culloden Battlefield and one of 50 similar complexs in the area. Clava Cairns is also the inspiration for the standing stones in Outlander, although the name Craig Na Dun from the outlander novels and television series is though to come from the hill Craig Dunain on the west side of Inverness which we will also pass.
Visit the world famous Culloden Battlefield the site of the 1745 Jacobite Rising and the last pitched battle to be fought on British soil. Enjoy the centre’s 360-degree battle immersion theatre, which puts you right in the heart of the action. Discover the true story from both the Jacobite and Government perspectives, in their accredited museum, where weapons and unique artefacts are displayed. See the restored 18th-century Leanach Cottage, spot Highland cows grazing on the battlefield or read the letters written just after the battle by Prince Charles Edward Stuart. Learn about family ancestry and any links you may have with Culloden.
