What You Will Do

Embark on a journey with us as we delve into the tales of courageous Highlanders, whose unwavering spirit led them to fight and sacrifice for their Bonnie Prince, Charles Edward Stuart, during the pivotal Battle of Culloden in 1746. We unravel the intricate events that set the stage for the battle, illuminating the profound implications it held for the Scottish people. Additionally, our exploration extends to the captivating film locations featured in the widely acclaimed "Outlander" TV series on Starz and the more recent production "One Day." Guided by an expert adorned in 18th-century attire, this immersive experience will transport you back to Scotland's golden age, kindling the flame of rebellion within. We have also won an award in Excellence in Service in Scotland in January 2024 which makes all our tours great value for money.

We had a great time on this tour! Charlotte was very communicative leading up to the event and then showed up like a trooper even though it was raining and cold. She dressed in costume and knew the city very well. We loved touring the Royal Mile with her!
Absolutely amazing!

This tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable about history and had a lot of fun and interesting stories to tell, she really took her time with us and answered every question we had!

We learned a lot about Edinburgh's history, saw interesting sights and visited Outlander filming locations.

I would highly recommend this tour (and honestly any tour by this guide, she was amazing!)
