行程概述
我们从因弗内斯出发,前往克拉瓦凯恩斯(Clava Cairns)古墓遗址,仿佛穿越回了过去。这座令人叹为观止的青铜时代墓地已有4000多年的历史。这里氛围独特,是拍照的绝佳地点,石圈和墓冢营造出一种神秘而永恒的氛围。据说,这里的石圈是《古战场传奇》(Outlander)系列小说中克雷格纳杜恩(Craigh na Dun)时空之门的灵感来源。虽然您的司机兼导游无法保证您真的能穿越时空,但探索这处古迹就像是一次穿越时空的旅程,让您得以一窥苏格兰丰富的史前遗产。
接下来,您将参观卡洛登,苏格兰历史上最重要的遗址之一。1746年,长达60年的詹姆斯党起义在此以惨烈的卡洛登战役告终,这场战役标志着在英国本土发生的最后一场战斗。在游客中心,您可以深入了解这场战役的历史,并缅怀那些在战斗中牺牲的烈士。对于《古战场传奇》(Outlander)的粉丝来说,卡洛登更具有特殊的意义——它距离克莱尔和杰米泪别的战场不远,杰米正是在这里加入詹姆斯党军队,为斯图亚特王朝而战。
接下来,我们将前往一处更为宁静之地:博利 (Beauly)。在这里,您可以探索博利修道院 (Beauly Priory) 的历史遗址,这座修道院由法国僧侣于 13 世纪建立。博利修道院被誉为“美丽的地方”,这处静谧之地让您得以一窥昔日修道院的生活,并营造出一种适合沉思冥想的氛围。您将有充足的时间游览村庄并享用午餐。之后,我们将漫步前往格伦阿弗里克 (Glen Affric),并在当地特有的喀里多尼亚松树林中稍作停留,漫步其中。您将有机会欣赏阿弗里克湖 (Loch Affric) 和远处群山的壮丽景色,您的司机兼导游将在整个下午带您前往最佳的瀑布和拍照地点。
您的最后一段旅程将带您沿着神秘的尼斯湖岸线返回因弗内斯市中心,迎接傍晚的到来。
您大约下午 6 点返回因弗内斯。
We depart from Inverness and step back in time at the ancient burial site of Clava Cairns, a remarkable Bronze Age cemetery that has stood for over 4,000 years. This atmospheric site is a perfect spot for photos, with its stone circles and burial mounds creating a mysterious, timeless setting. They say the stone circle here was the inspiration for the Craigh na Dun time portal in the Outlander books. While your driver-guide can't promise any time travel, exploring this ancient site feels like a journey to the distant past, offering a rare glimpse into Scotland's rich prehistoric heritage.
Next, you visit Culloden, one of the most significant sites in Scottish history. It was here that the 60-year series of Jacobite uprisings came to a devastating end in 1746, with the Battle of Culloden marking the final confrontation fought on British soil. At the visitor center, you can delve into the story of the battle and pay tribute to those who lost their lives. For Outlander fans, Culloden holds an extra layer of significance—it's not far from the battlefield where Claire and Jamie shared their tearful farewell before Jamie joined the Jacobite army to fight for the Stuarts.
Following this, we journey to a more tranquil spot: Beauly. Here, you can explore the historic ruins of Beauly Priory, founded by French monks in the 13th century. Named 'Beau Lieu' (beautiful place), the serene site offers a glimpse into monastic life of the past and provides a peaceful atmosphere for reflection. You'll have enough time to explore the village itself and have some lunch. Then we ramble along to Glen Affric and stop off for walks amongst the indigenous Caledonian pine trees. You get the chance to enjoy views over Loch Affric and the mountains beyond, and your driver-guide ensures you go to the best waterfalls and photo spots throughout the afternoon.
Your final journey takes you along the mysterious shores of Loch Ness and back to the centre of Inverness for the early evening.
You return to Inverness at approximately 6pm.
