Excursions
Loch Ness Cruise & Visitor Centre
Find out if the legend is true as we visit mysterious Loch Ness. Take a fifty-minute cruise departing from Fort Augustus, you’ll soon be treated to the breathtaking vista of Loch Ness in all its natural wonder. Experience the sights, wildlife and history of the famous loch. Back on dry land we visit the brand-new visitor centre. This experience includes a totally revamped tour exploring the myths, legends and events that have created the story of Loch Ness.
Whisky Trail
The Whisky Trail will start with a guided tour and complimentary dram at Glenlivet Distillery, home of this famous single malt since 1824. Then it’s off to Speyside Cooperage, the only working cooperage in UK where you will see highly skilled coopers creating casks for Scotland’s whisky-making process using traditional methods and tools. The day ends with a ride on the Whisky Line - an 11-mile heritage railway line linking the ‘World’s Malt Whisky Capital’, Dufftown, to the market town of Keith.
History Trail
We start the day with a visit to Culloden to experience the powerful emotions of the Battle of Culloden in the visitor centre’s 360-degree battle immersion theatre, which puts you right in the heart of the action. Later we head to the romantic fairy-tale Cawdor castle that has been the home of the Thanes of Cawdor since 1370. The dramatic medieval tower, dungeon, turrets, battlements and drawbridge make for a stunning attraction.
