Our first stop of the day is in the historic town of Dunkeld, it’s history dating from around 730AD. There will be time to enjoy a short walk and/or morning refreshments here.

We can enjoy a leisurely walk through the beautiful Hermitage forest which is suitable for all fitness levels. Tall Douglas firs fill the forest, along with the roaring waterfall known as the Black Linn.

Step back in time and discover how people lived and worked in the Scottish highlands from the 1700’s up until the 1950’s. The folk museum also appeared in the ‘Rent’ episode in the Outlander tv series. Please note the museum is only open April - October.

The Cairngorms National Park is the UK’s largest National Park and is home to many rare and endangered species of wildlife. The beauty of this wilderness with its magnificent forests, rivers and wild mountains is where we’ll have lunch. Weather permitting, we can have a picnic on the sandy beach of Loch Morlich. You will also have the opportunity to meet some of the park’s Reindeer herd, brought to Scotland in the 1960s.

A few miles south of Inverness lie the 4000 year old Prehistoric Burial Cairns of Clava. These beautifully preserved burial cairns reportedly inspired Diana Gabaldon’s Craigh Na Dun from Outlander.
