Overview

What sets this tour apart is its unique blend of rich history and spine-tingling tales, offering an immersive journey through Scotland’s most haunted and mysterious sites. Unlike traditional history tours, this experience dives deep into the darker, lesser-known stories that linger in the shadows of iconic landmarks and lessor knows sites. You'll not only learn about the historical significance of these locations but also uncover the chilling legends and supernatural occurrences that make them truly unforgettable.

We provide EMF metres so that you can see for yourself whether you are picking up any ghostly energy!

Our tour bus is decked out in spooky décor to set the perfect eerie mood. We can pick up from Invergordon Cruise Ship, Inverness Airport or any location within a 30km radius of Inverness.

Barevan Lifting Stone

As we arrive at the legendary Barevan Lifting Stone, you'll hear the tale of this ancient Highland challenge, where locals once tested their strength by lifting this massive stone. However, there's a more sinister side to this tradition, one that’s rarely spoken of in broad daylight. While many focus on the physical feat, darker stories surround the history of this stone and its useage.

Clava Cairns

Clava Cairns, an ancient burial site shrouded in mystery, offers a chilling glimpse into the distant past. These 4,000-year-old stone circles are not only an archaeological wonder but also the source of many spooky tales. Visitors often report an eerie silence that falls over the area, and some claim to have seen shadowy figures moving among the stones at dusk. Legends speak of restless spirits tied to the cairns, perhaps guarding the ancient tombs.

Culloden Moor

Culloden Battlefield holds a haunting atmosphere that extends far beyond its historical significance. Known as the site of one of the bloodiest battles in Scottish history, it is said that the spirits of the fallen still wander the moor. Visitors often report eerie sensations—chilling winds, whispers on the breeze, or the faint sounds of marching footsteps. Some even claim to see ghostly figures in Highland dress drifting through the fog. The battlefield is especially eerie at dawn or dusk, when the mist rolls in, and the quiet weight of history feels almost suffocating. Locals believe that on the anniversary of the battle, the spirits of the Jacobite soldiers return, forever reliving their final moments.
