Tales of the Jacobites – 10 Hours Private Tour
£650.00(Up to 6 people)
Led by your expert local guide, this private black cab tour traces the footsteps of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Highland supporters during the fateful 1745 Rising—Scotland’s last dramatic attempt to reclaim the throne for the Stuarts. This journey blends cinematic landscapes, history, tragedy, and triumph as we follow the Jacobite cause across some of Scotland’s most breathtaking and emotionally charged locations.
From the mighty Kelpies of Falkirk to the soaring Glenfinnan Viaduct, you’ll travel deep into Scotland’s cultural heartland. This isn’t just a history tour—it’s a visual feast of lochs, glens, waterfalls, battlefields, and storytelling. Film lovers will recognize the Glenfinnan Viaduct as the iconic Harry Potter train bridge, and history buffs will feel the weight of the Jacobite standard being raised on those very shores in 1745.
We’ll also visit the Falls of Dochart, the serene Loch Lubnaig, and haunting Glencoe, where the story of betrayal and massacre still echoes. Expect light-hearted moments too—like meeting Highland cows in Kilmahog and enjoying photo stops, snacks, and spontaneous Highland surprises. Whether you're passionate about Scotland’s history, a lover of epic landscapes, or simply eager for a deeper understanding of its rebellious spirit, this immersive day is unforgettable.
