Culloden House

Culloden House

We were in London on business, and decided to take a little trip up to Scotland. Rode the train (much superior to U.S. Trains) up to Inverness, rented a car, and stayed at the Culloden House for 3 nights. It's a wonderful old mansion (not quite a castle), just outside Culloden Battlefield, where Bonnie Prince Charlie met his match in 1746. The two collies bound out to greet every arriving guest, and Culloden House is just packed with charm and history.

Our room was smallish, but we didn't care. It was warm, comfortable, elegantly decorated with real antiques, and wonderful in every way. Breakfast was served in the great room—my wife favored the kippers, but I stayed with the mixed grill (bacon, blood sausage, tomoto, bread, and eggs if you want). And, even for breakfast, a wee dram of the water of life!

We used The Culloden House as a jumping off point to explore Loch Ness, the neighboring castles, including Urquhart, overlooking the Loch (AMAZING!) and, of course, the Malt Whisky Trail—a tour of distillaries in the highland area. Naturally, you can't visit an historic single malt distillary without sampling their product—makes for a very enjoyable afternoon!

At dinner, once again well-lubricated (!!!), I tried the wonderful venison, but stayed away from the haggis. But everything on the menu was delicious, and elegantly served.

And please don't hesitate to drop me a line with your own observations about this journal/review. I like to see if my advice has value. email me at rickhowe@aol.com
