3 Best Landmarks in Highland, UK

Eilean Donan Castle is absolutely magical. Nestled on its own small island where three lochs meet, the castle is as picturesque as it gets. The views are stunning, and the castle’s rich history is captivating. Inside, the rooms are beautifully restored, giving you a sense of life in a medieval Scottish stronghold. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. This iconic castle is a must-visit if you're in the Scottish Highlands—it's an experience that feels like stepping into a storybook.

A historical castle I visited when exploring Highlands. Rebuilt in 1900s but the history is deep and rewind back to 700 years prior to that. The staff are friendly and will answer your questions if the written explanation in the castle is unclear. The most interesting part of the castle for me personally is the ghosts story. I could definitely feel the vibe when I was there.

We stopped by on our way from the mainland to Skye and were happy with the decision we had made. The castle, and how it was set up to depict what life had previously been like, was fascinating. The views were stunning. It was overall a great experience and a play we would absolutely recommend.

After many years, I decided to visit this historic site. It is a very popular location. As the car park was near full. We queued up for a little while, but as members, you have a dedicated line. We were soon into the tour. Semi interactive within the building, with stations that you can activate to hear various accounts of the history before, during, and after the event. Actually, from both sides of history. There is a very emotional and well produced short film showing the events of the battle. Outside the large battle area gives you an insight into what both the army faced on this day. It was a nice sunny day so the walk outside was lovely. Even though the area you walked around appears quiet and solemn. It probably wasn't, but for me, it was very atmospheric. A nice cafe inside and off course a gift shop. I bought a nice whisky glass and a Culloden whisky... distillery unknown. It is very much worth a visit.

Great historical place to visit. I'd recommend the guided tour, which lasts 40 minutes and delivered expertly with good enthusiasm and detail. Great cafe and shop with loafs of seating areas. Great thing as well it's part of the Scottish trust so free for national trust members too!!

Great museum and battlefield. Learned a lot about the Jacobite Rising in the museum and I appreciated the layout of one side of the conflict on each side of the room. It was pretty open ended so you can easily spend as much time as you like in there. The field outside is a great walk with a lot of space and markers along the way. Great for doing it at your own pace and reading as much or little as you like.
