Inverness and Loch Ness

Not far from Glenlivet is Culloden. This is where the Jacobite rising was finally defeated and Bonny Prince Charlie started on his long flight to France in 1745.

A little further to the north west is the Highland capital of Inverness. Its extensive shopping facilities and cultural heritage will tempt many visitors to spend a few hours there during their stay in Scotland.

To the west and beyond Inverness are the Central Highlands, and Loch Ness. Superb landscapes and tales of monsters draw the visitor onwards with an absorbing vayage of discovery.

Royal Deeside and Aberdeenshire

To the south and east of Glenlivet lie Deeside and Aberdeenshire. The sheer number of castles, (read more...) historic houses and gardens bear witness to the long and turbulent history of the Grampian Highlands.

Also within easy reach is the historic city of Aberdeen with its extensive shopping facilities and thriving cultural scene.
