Beauly PrioryThis priory was completed in the early 13th Century by a group of monks who only existed for about 50 years. It was used in the story line of Outlander when Jamie and Claire visited the seer in Beauly. Tony will again tell the story of the Priory and all its ups and downs over the centuries.

Culloden BattlefieldHere you will actually walk the battlefield and Tony will explain and demonstrate all the trials and tribulations of "the '45". This is what the Jacobite's to this day still use to describe the last rebellion against the British Crown which started n 10th August 1745 until the final battle which took place on this field on 16th April 1746.

Clava CairnsClava Cairns, the inspiration for Diana Gabaldon's Craig Na Dune in the worldwide hit TV Show Outlander. The stones that whisk her and her family back and forth through the centuries are where the moulds for the props for the show were taken from. Tony has his own explanation of what these ancient stones represent and whilst there you will see his logic as he explains his theory. There is no actual historical records or documentation. We only know they are older than the Pyramids of Egypt.
