The 15 Best Culloden Battlefield & Clava Cairns Tours

27 reviewed

Culloden is a burial ground and is treated as one; the visit is quiet and takes about ninety minutes. These tours pair it with the Clava Cairns, four thousand years older and a short drive away. Here is what each includes, whether visitor-centre entry is covered, and how the rest of the day is spent.

“What a fantastic day with George! We were lucky enough that our family of 3 got George all to ourselves. He engaged all of us with his immense knowledge of the history of the Highlands from long ago to the current day. Clava Cairns came to life with his stories - we were all attentively hanging on his every word. He then took us to the grounds of the Battle of Culloden and again wove in stories that made this horrific event sink into our bones. His suggestion of Cawdor Castle was magical, and the beauty was just what we needed. Our last stop was the beach at Loch Ness,…”

I wish I would have booked all our tours through him as he was head and shoulders above the others tours we took. Book him, you won’t be disappointed.”

A one-day Highlands mix: Culloden, Clava Cairns, Inverness, Inverness Castle Experience, Loch Ness views and cows near Beauly.

“10 out of 10 don't recommend this tour. To start off the tour left almost an hour late. This caused the tour to eliminate the one stop we booked this for. So we didn't get to see/pet/feed the highland cows which was the one reason we booked this. We didn't leave any of our stops on time due to some people not following directions and never getting back to bus on time. Other tours will leave you if you do this. Not this one. Everyone else gets to suffer. The tour guide spent 30 minutes looking for 2 passengers after our 1st stop that were never on the bus to…”

“Although Culloden was stated in the title, our guide did not know about this. She was given a different itinerary. However, when Mo saw our paperwork and what it said we were going to do, she quickly adapted and made sure we went to the sites that we were hoping to see Mo Gets kudos for the work she did! The person I communicated with at Viator was less than helpful about the itinerary. She actually became quite defensive and said I booked the wrong trip. Even after I sent her the paperwork that I was given. However, Mo more than made up for the issues. Thanks Mo!!!”
