Extremely close to the Culloden Battlefield is Cawdor Castle which is still home to the Cawdor family to this day and has evolved over 600 years. Later additions, mainly from the 17th century, were all built in a Scottish style with slated roofs over walls and crow-stepped gables of local stone. This style gives Cawdor a strong sense of unity, and the massive, severe exterior belies an intimate interior that gives the place a surprisingly personal, friendly atmosphere. It is famed for being the 11th century home of Shakespeare’s tragic character, Macbeth. Although the 5th Earl Cawdor is quoted as saying: "I wish the Bard had never written his damned play!" There are portraits by Joshua Reynolds and furniture by Chippendale and Sheraton amongst many other treasures in this romantic castle.

Not far from Inverness is the Culloden Battlefield. This multi-award-winning visitor attraction will transport you back over 250 years to one of the bloodiest periods in Scottish history and to the final place where the Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charlie fought to reclaim the throne. You will be able to listen to first-hand accounts leading up to 16 April 1746 when the course of British, European and world history changed forever. Experience the battle in the immersion theatre and view breathtaking displays of artefacts and weaponry. Then, pick up one of the multi-lingual electronic guides and walk the battlefield, where over 1,200 Jacobites died in just one hour. All 'Outlander' fans will surely wish to see the inspiration for Craigh na Dun. It is in fact the standing stones of the Clava Cairns. Sadly, no transportation back in time has been recorded.....to date!

Leaving the Isle of Skye your chauffeur will drive you up the A82 on the west coast of Loch Ness and you'll pass the ruins of Urquhart Castle. Once one of Scotland’s largest castles, Urquhart saw great conflict during its 500 years as a medieval fortress. Control of the castle passed back and forth between the Scots and English during the Wars of Independence. The power struggles continued, as the Lords of the Isles regularly raided both castle and glen up until the 1500s. The last of the government troops garrisoned here during the Jacobite Risings blew up the castle when they left. Urquhart’s iconic ruins remain, offering glimpses into medieval times and the lives of its noble residents. When you arrive at Inverness you'll see Inverness Castle. Standing proudly above the River Ness, Inverness Castle is one of the defining landmarks of the Highland capital. The striking red sandstone castle dominates the city skyline and offers magnificent views across Inverness and towards the surrounding Highlands. While the current building dates largely from the 19th century, the site has played an important role in Scottish history for centuries, witnessing conflicts, royal visits and the growth of Inverness as the cultural heart of the Highlands. Huge thanks to Jane Wood for the images

From Eilean Donan your chauffeur will take you across the Kyle of Lochalsh to The Isle of Skye which is a place of extraordinary beauty, where dramatic landscapes, rich history, and tranquil corners combine to create an unforgettable experience. On the island’s southern peninsula, the atmospheric ruins of Kilchrist Church stand as a reminder of Skye’s past, while nearby Loch Slapin stretches beneath the striking Red Cuillin, offering stunning reflections and peaceful views. The picturesque village of Elgol is renowned for its breathtaking outlook across Loch Scavaig to the Black Cuillin mountains, often regarded as one of the finest views in Scotland. Whether exploring ancient sites, admiring rugged coastlines, or simply soaking up the island’s natural splendour, Skye captivates visitors at every turn.

Now we head north, up past Loch Ness and make a stop at Eilean Donan Castle. Standing proudly on a small tidal island where three sea lochs meet in the Scottish Highlands, Eilean Donan Castle is one of Scotland’s most iconic and photographed landmarks. Originally built in the 13th century as a stronghold against Viking incursions, the castle has witnessed centuries of Scottish history before being lovingly restored in the early 20th century. Surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and connected to the mainland by its picturesque stone bridge, Eilean Donan has appeared in numerous films and television productions, adding to its worldwide fame. A visit offers breathtaking views, fascinating history, and a true sense of Scotland’s rugged beauty.

Before your chauffeur takes you north you may like to visit Fort William and the surrounding area. Standing quietly on the banks of the River Lochy near Fort William, Old Inverlochy Castle is one of Scotland’s finest surviving 13th-century castles. Built by the powerful Comyn family, its impressive stone walls and towers remain remarkably intact, offering visitors a glimpse into medieval Scotland. The castle was the site of the first Battle of Inverlochy in 1431 and sits against the dramatic backdrop of Ben Nevis, adding to its timeless atmosphere. Free to visit and rich in history, Old Inverlochy Castle is a hidden gem that combines heritage, scenery, and a sense of Scotland’s turbulent past.

Continuing your journey to Mallaig you will arrive at the small village of Arisaig. The village was used during the 2nd World War as a training place for agents in war torn occupied Europe. A memorial was built in 2009 to remember the Slovak and Czech soldiers that trained around the village during the war. Here you will be get stunning views of Eigg, Rum, and Skye.
I suggest that you stop at The Old Library Lodge in Arisaig for a light bite to eat and a comfort break before catching the Jacobite Train from Mallaig back to Fort William where your chauffeur will be waiting for you.

Your chauffeur would love to take you on one of the most beautiful drives in the world: The Road to the Isles. Starting at Fort William you will pass Neptune’s Staircase which is a flight of eight lochs designed by Thomas Telford forming a spectacular section of the Caledonian Canal. You will drive by lovely views on the road to Glenfinnan where you can park at the visitor centre and view the Glenfinnan Monument where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard at the start of the Jacobite Rising in 1745 and in the other direction you will see the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct featured in the Harry Potter films. Maybe call in to The West Highland Railway Museum. Still a working railway station, the site offers a unique and hands-on introduction to West Highland railway heritage. The indoor exhibition provides interesting facts and stories about the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct and life on the West Highland, while the outdoor exhibits tell the story of a rural Scottish railway station over the last century.
