Invergordon Shore Excursion - This tour is best for those who only have limited time. You enjoy a scenic drive and lake cruise along the beautiful Loch Ness plus a visit to the Urquhart Castle, which was once one of the largest castles in Scotland.

After meeting your guide in Invergordon you start your scenic, passing over the Moray Firth on the Kessock Bridge. Upon arrival at the Clansman Harbor you will board a boat for a cruise along Loch Ness. This cruise allows you to see some of Scotland's most scenic countryside. You will disembark the ship at the Urquhart Castle.

Urquhart Castle was built in the 1230s on a strategic spot with the cold waters of Loch Ness located on three sides of the site. In 1296 the English seized the castle and then in 1545 it was sacked by the MacDonald Lords of the Isles. Finally, in 1689 the castle gate was blown up with gun powder by its own government soldiers so that the Jacobite rebels could not use it. After that it was never used again and fell into ruins. Today the castle is owned by "Historic Scotland" and you can tour the castle ruins, castle tower and its modern visitors center which contains an array of medieval artifacts found at the site. If there is time, you can enjoy a stroll along the loch or enjoy a cup of coffee from the terrace overlooking the loch.

After enjoying these highlights of Loch Ness, you return to the pier in Invergordon.

5 of 5 Review Location: Invergordon August 2, 2024
Reviewer: JAY G from Minneapolis, MN  
I was just thinking of e-mailing you, the tours were fantastic! All the tour guides we had were knowledgeable and enjoyable to be with. The drivers were very professional. Clouda (not sure if thats proper spelling) was our guide in County Kerry, she went out of her way to show us things the kids would enjoy which made it so wonderful. Jordan our driver was excellent. And Graham with the Scotland tour company took us to special filming spots after we shared we are outlander fans. Ricky and Christine from the Scotland tours company were excellent too. We had so much fun and will def be booking with you all again! I can write reviews online too if that helps. Thanks for your help!

Reviewer: Correen S from La Mesa, CA  
All the tours you arranged for us were wonderful, with the exception of the one for June 14 for InvergordonInverness. The weather had typhon winds and the ship was unable to dock the day. I remembered you had a guaranty the ship was not able to make the port (one of the reasons I book with you). Let me know if you need more info from me to credit my card for the missed tour.

I wanted to let you know that all five of our shore excursions were fantastic! The guides and drivers were fabulous, and all exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed every minute, learned a lot, and are so grateful to Private Shore Trips for giving us such a memorable first trip to Europe!
