What To Expect

Clootie Well

This well, located near natural springs or sometimes holy sites, are surrounded by trees adorned with pieces of cloth, known as “cloots.” Visitors tie these fabric strips to the branches, usually for healing or good fortune. The tradition is believed to date back to pre-Christian times, when offerings were made to spirits or deities associated with the water. The weathered rags fluttering in the breeze creates a haunting yet magical atmosphere. This well remains’ a powerful symbol of faith, folklore, and Scottish heritage, attracting those seeking a connection to the past or simply experiencing one of Scotland’s most mystical traditions.

Chanonry Point

Jutting out into the Moray Firth, this narrow peninsula provides an ideal vantage point, especially at rising tides, when dolphins come close to shore to hunt for fish although spotting dolphins is not guaranteed. The area is also rich in history and legend, with links to the Brahan Seer, a famous Scottish prophet said to have predicted Scotland’s future. The small but picturesque lighthouse was built in 1846, which adds to the charm of the spot. Whether for wildlife watching, photography, or simply enjoying the stunning coastal scenery looking over to Fort George and the Inverness suspension bridge.

Wardlaw Mausoleum

Wardlaw Mausoleum is a historic burial site closely linked to the Fraser clan. Built in 1634 by Lord Lovat, the mausoleum was originally intended as the final resting place for the Fraser family. The site is steeped in intrigue, with local legend suggesting that Simon Fraser, the notorious 11th Lord Lovat, familiarly known as the “Old Fox” and the last man to be publicly beheaded in Britain – may be secretly buried here rather than in the Tower of London. The mausoleum features an atmospheric crypt, beautifully carved stonework, and a peaceful churchyard, making it a fascinating stop for history enthusiasts. Today, Wardlaw Mausoleum remains an important part of Scotland’s Highland heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s past and the enduring legacy of the Fraser clan.
