Absorb the Histories of the Bonnie Black Isle
For a more unique adventure, we guide you through the romantic Black Isles. Steeped in tragedy and intrigue, these lands showcase the somber events of Culloden in 1746. Visit the field where it all occurred and see the Clava stones and burial Cairns. Walking through the ancient fields of the Bonnie Black Isle, some explorers say they feel ethereal energy. This serves as a reminder of the strength of Highlanders, and the tragedy that befell them.
History Check: The Battle of Culloden (1746) was essentially the last stand of the Highlanders against the British Army. The Jacobite Army, led by Charles Edward Stuart fought hard for their land, despite being drastically outnumbered.
