    Passing through the village we go to look at the Culloden House Hotel, once home of Duncan Forbes the lord of Culloden, and used as both Jacobite and Government HQs before and after the battle. Used in the TV show as exactly that, Bonnie Prince Charlies headquarters.

  4. 1 hour

    A drive through Inverness and north takes us to this amazing peninsula on the Moray Firth. Linked to the Bran Seer who predicted Culloden, and in the shadow of Fort George built in the aftermath, this is a beautiful place where dolphins can be spotted.
