Even before you begin your North Coast 500 journey at Inverness, there are a number of archaeological and historic sites to make around the area. In fact, you may wish to have an additional day to explore these areas!

Explore Scotland’s earliest beginnings and immerse yourself in the mysterious Clava Cairns, a 20-minute drive east of Inverness. This area is home to a number of Neolithic ‘cairns’, burial places for the dead, and were constructed over 5000 years ago. This area also features a series of standing stones, one of which, the ‘split stone’, may have been the inspiration for the Outlander television phenomenon!

Spend 45 mins – 1.5 hours here.

Now it’s time to head north and 4,500 years forward to Culloden Battlefield and Visitor Experience, site of one of the most famous battles in British history, fought between the British Government and rebellious Jacobites, in 1746. The newly-built heritage centre between provides a detailed and interactive look at the factors which led to this battle, before you participate in the immersive ‘battle film’, which gives a glimpse into the horrors of the battlefield. Well worth a good few hours of exploring, and best of all, you can get a spot of lunch before you spend some time exploring the battlefield.

Alternatively, or if you have time, pop into Inverness Museum and Gallery, where you can learn about the history of the Highlands, from geological formation right through to more modern times. Try on the replica of the ‘Achavrail Armlet’, a two thousand year old piece of ‘bling’!
