A personal, unhurried day through Fraser clan country for anyone with Highland roots, or anyone who just wants a story-led alternative to the classic scenic drive.
Your Day
Pickup point — usually your hotel or a central spot in Inverness (exact point to be discussed when you book)
Beauly Priory — the 13th-century ruined priory at the heart of Fraser country, with the clan's burial ground close by
Beauly village — a handsome market town, historically tied to the Frasers of Lovat
Clava Cairns & Culloden — the standing stones and battlefield where Fraser history and the wider Jacobite story meet
Local stories — the Fraser of Lovat lineage, the '45 Rising, and how the clan's history still shows in the landscape today
A relaxed pace — built for conversation and photos, not a box-ticking itinerary
Route follows the actual road between the sites, out and back to Inverness. Order and exact stops can flex on the day.
How It Works
Date, group size, and roughly what you'd like to see — via the form, email or WhatsApp.
I'll confirm the exact price against the starting rate shown, plus any add-ons.
A deposit secures your booking and the vehicle for your date.
Balance is settled on the day — you pay for the trip you actually took.
Good To Know
Almost no other Inverness tour company runs a dedicated clan-history day — this is a genuinely different kind of tour
Ideal for the afternoon before or after visiting genealogy records in Inverness
Can be adapted toward a different clan connection if Fraser isn't the one you're tracing — ask when you enquire
Close to Inverness, so it works well as a half-day paired with something else the same day
Yes. This is the starting template because Fraser of Lovat country is closest to Inverness, but I can shape a similar day around other clans with sites within reach (Mackintosh, Munro, Chisholm and others) — tell me your name or clan connection when you enquire.
No — I'm not a genealogist. This is a guided day out to the physical places connected to the clan, not a records or archive service. I'm happy to point you toward local resources if you want to dig further.
Yes, it's a free, open site with no set opening hours to work around.
Yes — both are close by and pair naturally. Let me know if you'd like a longer day built around this route.
Send your date, group size and any clan connection you know of — I'll confirm price and put together your day.
