Culloden, Scotland
Culloden is in the county of Inverness and about 6 miles east of the city.
It on the moor that the Battle of Culloden (also called the Battle of Drumossie) took place 16 April 1746. Here the Jacobites were defeated by the larger force of British soldiers.
The Jacobites were supporters of Charles Edward's claim to the British throne.
Invergordon, Scotland
Invergordon is a small town in Eastern Scotland on the Cromarty Firth.
It is a deep water port used by cruise ships visiting the Scottish Highlands.
There is a train station nearby. A trip to Inverness takes about an hour.
Others might visit Dunrobin Castle.

Dunrobin Castle, Scotland
Dunrobin Castle, Scotland / Geoff Sutton 2022 |
We arrived at the 700-year-old Dunrobin Castle via coach from Invergordon on a pleasant sunny August day. We decided to tour the castle first before walking about the gardens and visiting the small museum.
I didn't count the number of rooms on the tour but they were surely a fraction of the 189--Dunrobin is the largest castle in the Northern Highlands and one of the oldest houses where people have always lived.
