What you can expect

Step through the otherworldly thresholds of Inverness.

This small-group storytelling walk explores the places where Scotland’s myths linger in the landscape, fairy hills, river crossings, ancient hillforts, and the quiet spaces between.

Beginning at Tomnahurich, long believed to be a gateway to the Otherworld, we’ll hear the tale of the vanished fiddlers and explore why cemeteries and fairy lore so often intertwine.

From there, we follow the River Ness across the wooded Ness Islands, where stories of kelpies and hidden waters rise to the surface, including a rare Highland tale of transformation.

Along the way, we touch on:
• The mystery of the Picts and nearby Craig Phadrig
• Folklore connected to ancient stone circles
• The shaping presence of the Cailleach and Highland giants
• The deeper meaning of thresholds in Scottish myth

This is not a rushed historical tour.

It is a reflective, story-led walk for those who enjoy folklore, romantasy, and slow travel.

Duration: 3 hours
Group size: Small and intimate
Pace: Gentle and unhurried
Perfect for:
• Folklore lovers
• Curious travellers
• Romantasy/ fantasy readers
