Overview

The tour goes to Urquhart castle AND Glen Ord distillery - home of the Singleton malt whisky. Our tours are specially put together after taking feedback from YOU. We have surveyed your desires and requests and put them together in our tours. Our guides will impart their knowledge of their local Highlands and answer any of your questions.

As a general rule tours leave 30 minutes to 1.5 hours after the arrival of the ship and return at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before ship departure time. Please check our website which has the exact tour departure and return times for every tour.

Tours offered based on Outlander and Castle themes as well as historic value. This tour includes a visit to a whisky distillery. Usual Glen Ord but on occasions it might be swapped to Balblair. It packs in a lot for one day and is very affordable and good value for money.
