Overview

Take a walk with Cath, a local to the area, and an experienced and qualified tourist guide around her beautiful city of Inverness. A Walk Inverness tour contains lots of local history, beautiful scenery, architecture, and romantic (yet sometimes bloody) tales which have over time, shaped Inverness into the thriving city that stands today.

In the true spirit of Outlander, find out more about the short but final confrontation of the Jacobite Rising, The Battle of Culloden in 1746, in which the fate of between 1500 Jacobites was sealed by a poor decision and a hostile terrain. Cath will fascinate you with references to Outlander along with life in 18th century Inverness right up to the present day. Sharing stories of clan history, folklore and legends. Step even further back in time to 565 AD and learn about St Columba’s visit to the Highlands.

A fascinating tour of a city which doesn't appear to have much of interest. She told us useful information, not only of historical significance, but suggestions of places to eat, drink and hear musical entertainment.

It's such a great way to get a taste of Inverness! We met Cath soon after arriving in Inverness, and she gave us a wonderful tour of the city. We are so excited to spend the next few days here. After reading about this city; it truly came alive with Cath's personality and love of the area.
