Your Tour Itinerary – ONE DAY OUTLANDER TOUR from Inverness:

The Morning: Learn about Clan Fraser and MacKenzie. Explore the land they walked, the homes they lived in, the towns they frequented and the places they were buried…

Wardlaw Mausoleum – this is reputed to be the final resting place of Simon ‘The Fox’ Fraser, the 11th Lord Lovat who is Jamie Fraser’s grandfather in Outlander. We will visit the underground crypt that was said to contain his headless body, smuggled here after his execution at the Tower of London. The Mausoleum was built as a burial place and shrine to the Frasers of Lovat.

Beauly Priory – this is where Claire met Maisri, the Lovat’s Seer, in Dragonfly in Amber. We will take you on a guided tour of the Priory, sharing its incredible 800 year old history while we read the excerpts from the novel. Then we’ll show you some of the best places in Beauly for some retail therapy.

The Real ‘Lallybroch’ – the land this historic home sits upon was granted to John Mackenzie in 1637 and remained Clan Mackenzie’s for centuries thereafter. The house sits on the cusp of both Clan Mackenzie and Clan Fraser land and is known to be the original inspiration for Lallybroch. Although filming for the series was not done here, the Lallybroch that Diana Gabaldon describes in the original book is this one.

Glen Ord Distillery – If you’ve come all the way to Scotland, why not enjoy a wee dram… This Award Winning Distillery was founded in the early 19th century on lands owned by the Mackenzie family for 600 years. You can end your touring day with a very unique whisky tasting if you wish to (it’s one you can’t buy in any shops, other than here at the Distillery!). Andy will guide you through the art of a real Highland whisky tasting, so you can fully experience and appreciate the ‘Water of Life‘ or ‘ Uisge beatha‘. If you don’t fancy a whisky tasting, you can browse the shop, enjoy a cappuccino and explore the exhibition.

The Afternoon: Walk the sacred ground in Culloden on the path of the Jacobites on that fateful day…

The Standing Stones and prehistoric burial cairns were built 4000 years ago and include the famous ‘split stone’. It’s these stones near Culloden Battlefield, where the sounds of battle would have been heard on that fateful day when Jamie and Claire said goodbye.

Culloden Battlefield – Andy will guide you around the Battlefield, sharing with you how the last pitched battle was fought on British soil. See the gravestone for the Frasers who tragically fell on 16 April 1746 along with many other Clansmen. You can browse through the Culloden Battlefield Indoor Museum, watch a 360 degree surround movie of the Battle as if you were standing between the two sides. If you survive that, then you can enjoy the wonderful shopping experience at the Visitor Centre.

Culloden House – Bonnie Prince Charlie used Culloden House as his lodging and Headquarters prior to the fateful battle on Culloden Moor. As such, Culloden House features heavily in Outlander towards the end of series and book two. We will guide you around the gardens and outside of the House, before taking you inside to show you the history ‘hidden in plain sight’. You might be interested in reading this article and watching the short video, which recounts some of the dramatic events which took place here in the days following the Battle.
