Next, the tour goes to Culloden Battlefield, where the last battle fought on British soil ended a 60-year conflict between Jacobites and Government forces. The visit includes 75 minutes to explore the battlefield and the Culloden Visitor Centre, reflecting on the events and those who died in 1746. Admission to the museum and battlefield is included. The tour continues to Glen Affric National Nature Reserve for a 45-minute walk among native Caledonian pine forests. The driver-guide points out scenic views of Loch Affric, nearby mountains, waterfalls, and photo spots. Finally, the group stops at Beauly Priory for about an hour to explore the ruins of a 13th-century monastery established by French monks who named it "beau lieu" or "beautiful place." The tour runs about nine hours in total. Transport is by a Mercedes mini-coach in a small group limited to 16 people. The driver also serves as the guide throughout the day.
