Outlander Adventure

Did I mention my buddies is a HUGE Outlander fan? Yep, she is. So while we were in Scotland I searched for a #Outlander themed tour for her. I was surprised at how wildly popular the show was...(I must really live in a cave, right? I had no idea.) The tours were booked up for 2 years in advance and cost? Well as much as well a trip to Scotland! We found a slightly cheaper one and lucked into a open spot. The only open spot for the entire MONTH!

We started the tour in Inverness.

We stayed in a nice B & B in the heart of the city.

This tour was based on historical parts of the novels and TV show, not movie sets or locations that were used in filming. A few of the places I had visited already, but was glad to return to. 

Our 1st stop was the Culloden Battlefield. We told the guide that we were more interested in somethings than others and she was kind enough to let us take as long as we wanted here.

The visitor center blends in with the hills and is unobtrusive.

It had been 7 years since I was last at the museum and it had been expanded to include more exhibits, a film and a cafe. I found out later there was no photos allowed, so enjoy my blurry iPhone photos, ok?

We then went back outside to walk around the moor.

Highland Cows are in a area by the parking lot.

We left them and made our way to the Clava Cairn.

(Our train went over this bridge coming into the city!)

For me this is a very peaceful and quiet place. I was last year about 7 years ago.

The site is approx 4,000 years old and not far from the Battlefield.

These are the burial cairns.

Driving around Scotland :D

Papers that ended up in the bottom of my bag, lol 1. Dunvegan, Ord House and Calloden Vistitors Centre.

We stopped for tea at the Ord House. (Does it look like Jamies house to you?)

Inside- we had tea and cake and then looked around a bit.

It was cold and the fire was most welcome!

The grounds outside.

It was starting to mist rain so we set off again.

Then went to Beauly

And Back to Inverness proper for more magic!

A lot more happened and we saw a lot more stuff, but thats about all the pictures I can sort for today. We had a really nice time, with a great guide and a really fun tour. We stayed another few days in Inverness (more posts on that adventure soon.) 

See you at the airport~
