4. A popular stop on the tour is Culloden Battlefield, the site of the last pitched battle on British soil. There's a really good visitor centre here with a 360 cinema which puts you right at the heart of the battle. The alternative is to take a walk around the battlefield, visit the cairn and take a look around Leanach cottage.

   1 h

5. From the battlefield it's only a short drive to the Culloden Viaduct and Clava Cairns which features a selection of standing stones and is an interesting example of a well preserved Bronze Age cemetery.

   20 min

6. Cawdor Castle is one of our favourite castles in Scotland. Still used as a family home its kind owner moves out in April to allow guests a chance to wander her castle and grounds. Top tip: we love wandering around the walled gardens.

   1 h

7. If beer is your thing we highly recommend visiting the Black Isle Brewery on your way back to the ship. With a range of beers to choose from they will kindly let you try them for free.

About Invergordon

Invergordon is a small port on the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands, with wall murals, nearby distilleries and a deep-water harbour.

Invergordon stands on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, a large sheltered natural harbour, in the Highland area of Easter Ross. It was a Royal Navy base in both world wars, and its deep-water port still receives large ships. The town's walls are covered with murals showing local history, and a museum recalls the naval years, including the 1931 mutiny of sailors over pay.
