Excellent tour from Valerie, very thorough and pitched it well, at a level which everyone could understand and learn from. Wrap up warm, it's breezy!

Amazing place ! Fantastic tour outside giving a history lesson on what happened that day. I loved the museum and all of the information they had. Great artifacts they had including a 2D video of how the battle occurred. The outside is beautiful and sacred. They take care and respect the grounds. I love how they show where the Jacobite groups and Red coats were. Transportation is great to get there. Don't need to spend a lot with a taxi. We took the local bus and purchased a day pass. The bus to there passes by every 30mins

Spent 3hrs here doing museum, battlefield experience, guided tour and my own peaceful wandering. No queues and well run. Good gift shop, but cafe didn't seem to have much choice and nor ready before 11am/ 1130.
