Overview

Join us on this unforgettable day trip from Glasgow for a full day of sightseeing in the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. Explore the historic Culloden Battlefield, step back in time at the Highland Folk Museum, marvel at the ancient standing stones at Clava Cairns, and discover much more. Unlike many other Highlands tours, we believe in spending a bit more time at each location, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in Scotland’s unique culture, history, and traditions. While we can’t cover every corner of the Highlands in a day, you’ll leave feeling enriched by the experiences we offer.

Our fun-filled tour is led by experienced guides who bring the 1745 Jacobite Uprising and Scottish Highland culture to life, sharing fascinating stories and uncovering hidden gems along the way. This tour is perfect for anyone looking to dive deep into Scotland’s past and is a fantastic addition to the itinerary for Outlander fans visiting Scotland.
