Local departure or Home Connect service, then we travel to Scotland. Enjoy the spectacular scenery as we cross the Scottish border and head for the Highlands. A warm welcome awaits us as we arrive at the hotel and enjoy dinner.

This morning we head to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. We will start at the exciting new Inverness Castle Experience, a visitor attraction that celebrates the spirit of the Highlands through its stories or past and present. It is an interactive journey about the the landscapes, culture, heritage and people.

You will then have some free time in Inverness. Nestled on the banks of the River Ness, in this charming city, ancient history meets Highland hospitality. Wander through the cobbled streets of the Old Town and make sure you visit the indoor Victorian market. It dates back to 1890 and has a range of independent shops and cafés.

This afternoon, we visit the site of one of Scotland's most famous battlefields. The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising of 1745, fought on 16 April 1746. It marked a decisive defeat for the Jacobite forces and ended their campaign to restore the Stuart monarchy. The visitor centre features artefacts from both sides of the battle, as well as interactive displays. Guests can walk to the battlefield and see the memorials to the clans. It remains a poignant symbol of Scottish history and identity.
