The real places that inspired the story — standing stones, a Jacobite battlefield and a quiet ruined priory, all within twenty minutes of Inverness.
Your Day
Pickup point — usually your hotel or a central spot in Inverness (exact point to be discussed when you book)
Clava Cairns — the Bronze Age standing stones widely credited as the inspiration for Craigh na Dun
Culloden Battlefield — the 1746 battlefield and visitor centre — Jacobite history behind much of the story
Beauly Priory — a quiet 13th-century ruin, rarely crowded, with real clan history attached
Inverness city stops — a few streets and closes with their own quiet historical connections
Loch Ness viewpoint (optional) — add a stop at the loch on the way back if time allows
Route follows the actual road between the sites, out and back to Inverness. Order and exact stops can flex on the day.

Good To Know
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
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.
