Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition: Our most recommended tours and activities

1. Inverness: Loch Ness Cruise, Outlander & Whisky Tour

Depart central Inverness and journey to the world-famous Loch Ness, where you will join a 1-hour cruise to Urquhart Castle. You'll have time to explore the 13th-century ruins on foot as part of this tour. Afterward, enjoy lunch in one of the charming local cafés in Beauly and explore Beauly Priory, used in the film Outlander. Next, stop at an ancient pine forest to see waterfalls. Visit a Highland whisky distillery, and join an optional tour to learn about whisky production and sample a wee dram. Listen to tales of the Jacobite rebellions and the brutal Battle of Culloden, on a visit to Culloden Battlefield. Outlander fans will love the mysterious burial chambers and standing stones at Clava Cairns. When you’ve heard the harrowing history behind the Outlander story, you might not want to travel back in time to meet Jamie Fraser after all. Return to Inverness in the early evening.

Great excursion. The boat cruise was wonderful. Culloden was beautiful and eerie. Clava Cairns was a mysterious area of Scotland. We had a wonderful guide, Fraser. He knew his history and was very friendly. Thank you so much for offering this great excursion.

Amazing day - still reeling trying to digest the days events and adventures - had the most amazing guide Andy who expertly guided us through a day of pure wonder, so many historic facts, so much fun.

Great day trip, lots to see. Alana was awesome and gave great recommendations for things to do after in Inverness.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us ample time everywhere we went! Wonderful tour!
