INVERNESS and LOCH NESS EXCLUSIVE TOURS

Tony Harmsworth’s Loch Ness tour was the first in Scotland to obtain the coveted STB 5 star award for excellence. This means that it is currently one of the finest tour experiences you can obtain. Why this accolade? Tony offers visitors more than just the monster and takes you through Scotland’s natural history from the ice age to the forests and hills you see today. In addition Tony explains Scotland’s complex history and heritage from Neolithic Highlanders, the arrival of the Celts - first the Picts then the Scots - the beginnings of unification under the elected king Kenneth MacAlpin and on into the second millennium. We tell of Duncan the Gracious, who wasn’t, Macbeth the Usurper, who wasn’t and Malcolm the rightful king ... who wasn’t! Confused? So was William Shakespeare!

After a brief mention of the minor event of 1066AD in the small country attached to the south of Scotland, now what is it called? Oh yes, England, we move on to William Wallace - how close did Braveheart follow his story? On to Robert the Bruce and then the Stewart Kings. By the end of the tour we guarantee you will be able to list all of the Stuart Kings from James I to James V in order, not so hard as you may imagine! But who came next? Eventually we reach the Jacobite era and deal with the events which led up to the the Jacobite Uprisings (only called rebellions by the supporters of the real usurpers, Mary, William and the Georges). The sadness and pointlessness of the battle of Culloden and then the Highland Clearances come next and we also give you a brief insight into the economy and aspirations of our more modern Scotland.

And what about the monster? On this tour you get the absolute truth about the Loch Ness story from its fishy origins through the unbelievable thirties’ dinosaurs and on to a more logical, but fascinating conclusion. We present Loch Ness using portable DVD equipment as a LIVE PLUS AV presentation. See archive footage and exclusive material filmed in more recent years. If you’ve ever wanted to know the real story of Nessie you will get it with Tony - a promise!

Tony's tours offer you the opportunity to visit the Isles of Skye, Mull, Iona, Orkney and Lewis. See the west coast or visit the beautiful Glen Affric, the moody Glen Coe and even the Harry Potter viaduct. Exhibitions and museums can also be incorporated into your exclusive tour. Tony can take you on scenic excursions out into the Highlands or can major on the prehistoric legacy of the Highlands.

You may imagine that an exclusive tour would be expensive ... this is not the case. A short Loch Ness tour for four people can cost as little £19 each, an all day tour for six for around £35 and you get to go where you want to go, when you want to go there! Don’t miss this opportunity to get into the real hidden Highlands. Now click on the LIST TYPES OF TOURS button near the top of the page and find tours ranging from two hours to three days.
