Our expeditions today were within 1/2 hour of Inverness. We began at the Culloden Battlefield. This is the site where thousands of Highlanders lost their lives in a bloody battle. As a result, the Scottish clans were broken up, and it was forbidden to wear kilts and tartans. This museum is excellent - a wonderful history lesson.......
We stopped at Clava Cairns - a prehistoric burial ground featuring burial mounds and rock formations similar to Stonehenge.
At lunch time we stopped at Cawdor Castle. We had a tour of the castle and the beautiful gardens, plus some homemade soup and scones in the cafe.
Our group got back to Inverness in time to shop at Marks and Spencer and all the fun town shops.
