(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Cawdor Castle
Cawdor Castle, nestled in the Scottish Highlands near Nairn, is a striking medieval fortress with origins dating back to the late 14th century. Renowned for its enchanting gardens and rich historical tapestry, the castle is traditionally linked to Shakespeare's Macbeth, although the real structure postdates the historical King Macbeth's era. Surrounded by picturesque woodlands, the castle features a drawbridge, imposing towers, and elegantly furnished rooms reflecting centuries of aristocratic heritage. Still a family home, Cawdor Castle invites visitors to explore its storied past, beautifully maintained grounds, and the serene charm of the Scottish countryside.
Culloden Viaduct
The Culloden Viaduct, also known as the Nairn Viaduct, is an impressive railway structure located near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Spanning the River Nairn, it was completed in 1898 as part of the Highland Railway network. The viaduct is notable for its 29 graceful stone arches, stretching over 549 metres (1,800 feet), making it the longest masonry viaduct in Scotland. Its elegant design blends seamlessly with the dramatic Highland landscape, and it continues to support rail traffic today, offering spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby historic Culloden Battlefield.
Culloden Battlefield
The Battle of Culloden took place on 16 April 1746 on the Culloden Moor near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. It was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising of 1745, where the Jacobite forces led by Charles Edward Stuart (commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) faced the British government army commanded by the Duke of Cumberland. The battle was brief and brutal, resulting in a decisive government victory. The Jacobite army, composed largely of Highland clansmen, was overwhelmed by the better-equipped and disciplined government troops. The aftermath of the battle marked the end of the Jacobite cause and led to severe repercussions for Scottish Highland culture, including the banning of traditional Highland dress, the dismantling of the clan system, and harsh measures against those suspected of Jacobite sympathies. Today, the Culloden Battlefield is preserved as a historical site, with a visitor centre and memorials commemorating those who fought and died there.
