Overview

Embark on a journey with us as we delve into the tales of courageous Highlanders, whose unwavering spirit led them to fight and sacrifice for their Bonnie Prince, Charles Edward Stuart, during the pivotal Battle of Culloden in 1746. We unravel the intricate events that set the stage for the battle, illuminating the profound implications it held for the Scottish people. Additionally, our exploration extends to the captivating film locations featured in the widely acclaimed "Outlander" TV series on Starz and the more recent production "One Day."
Guided by an expert adorned in 18th-century attire, this immersive experience will transport you back to Scotland's golden age, kindling the flame of rebellion within. We have also won an award in Excellence in Service in Scotland in January 2024 which makes all our tours great value for money.
