This experience will explain to you what Scotland used to be like, what happened, and what it's like now. Onwards to 'Cawdor Castle. This is an impressive 15th-century tower house and was mentioned in Shakespeare's play Macbeth. (An alternative to Urquhart Castle will be offered in the winter season, October–April.)

Culloden Battlefield
Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre, Culloden Moor, United Kingdom, IV2 5EUThe Culloden Battlefield was the site of one of the last battles to take place on British soil. On April 16, 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army of 5,000 Jacobite Highlanders faced off against the Duke of Cumberland and 9,000 Hanoverian government troops. Though the Jacobites fought valiantly, they were ultimately defeated, resulting in the elimination of the Scottish clan system and the suppression of Highland culture.

Cawdor Castle
Nairn, United Kingdom, IV12 5RDA romantic fairy-tale castle that has been the home of the Thanes of Cawdor since 1370, Cawdor has evolved into a charming family mansion and the most outstanding of stately homes. The dramatic medieval tower, dungeon, turrets, battlements, and drawbridge belie an enchanting interior of fine art, tapestries, and furniture that create the warm and welcoming feel of a home rather than a museum. The castle, set in stunning grounds with three beautiful and varied gardens, is surrounded by the magnificent Cawdor Big Wood, one of the finest woodland areas in Europe, threaded with color-coded nature trails to explore.
