Another favorite of ours and again, the early menu is great value though a smaller selection. Seasonal menus make it an interesting place to go anytime of the year. The trout is Heather's fav! Booking is a must unless you want a 9.30pm dinner

Site of the last pitched battle on British soil, this site and visitor centre offers an insight into the Jacobite Raising, Bonnie Prince Charlie and the knock on effects that has shaped our culture here in the Highlands. The battlefield is free to wander around, but the centre has an entry fee, but worth it in our opinion.

Site of 4000 year old burial chambers, now made famous by the TV series Outlander. I recommend going late in the afternoon as the sun goes down as it's really atmospheric but also usually much quieter.

Build after the battle of Culloden, this is the largest barracks in Europe and is still a working garrison. There's a really interesting museum here too. Also a good place to spot the dolphins in the Moray Firth
