Culloden Battlefield, Scottish Highlands

Good To Know

The story's real-world roots, without the tour-bus crowds

  • All of the closest, most-visited locations are within 20 minutes of Inverness — no long transfer day

  • I know which spots get busy and when, so we can time visits around the quieter windows

  • Told straight — what's genuinely linked to the show, and what's just a good story

  • Easily combined with a full Loch Ness day or Culloden focus if you'd rather go deeper on one stop

Frequently asked questions

No — it's a private day built around the real Highland locations connected to the show and its history, run independently and not affiliated with the production.

Mostly inspiration and historical-connection sites near Inverness (Clava Cairns, Culloden, Beauly). Actual filming locations further afield (Doune Castle, Glencoe) can be built into a longer custom day — just ask.

Culloden Battlefield visitor centre has a separate admission fee; the battlefield grounds themselves are free to walk. Clava Cairns and Beauly Priory are free, open sites.

Yes — both pair naturally with this route. Mention it when you enquire and I'll adjust the pacing.
