Full Day Tour of Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle and the Great Glen

Inverness along the Great Glen, to Loch Ness passing the birth of the River Ness, which gives Inverness its name, Inver in Gallic means mouth, Inverness means Mouth of the river Ness. At the Clansman Hotel where we sail to Urquhart Castle looking for Nessie, lurking in the deep waters. At Urquhart Castle where we explore the ruins of this castle dating back 1500 years. From the castle we drive through the Highlands to Beauly with free time to explore and perhaps enjoy a lunch in one of the many cafes and restaurants. From Beauly we head back towards Inverness and Culloden Battlefield, where the forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie were defeated on 16th April 1746. Walking across the battlefield you will see the Stones of the Clans and Memorial Cairn to the fallen. We then travel to Clava Cairns, a Bronze Age group of Cairns and Standing Stones. Returning to Inverness passing by the Nairn Viaduct, the largest brick built structure in Scotland. Back in Inverness I leave you with a wonderful day to remember.
