A FAMILY-RUN tour operator has created a fascinating Jacobite Highland hike inspired by the popular TV series Outlander.

Named the Outlander Adventure Experience, the tour transports you back nearly 300 years to key sites of the Jacobite Rebellion and tells of the real-life escapades of prominent local hero, John Ruaridh Stuart - an aide of Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Lasting four days and five nights, the guided tour is one of the latest bespoke creations from independent tour operator Scot Mountain Holidays, which was set up 18 years ago by Andrew Bateman. Ipswich-native, Mr Bateman, 48, confesses a deep love for the Scottish Highlands.

“This is where my heart is. It’s god’s country.
