Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre is a museum and information center in the Scottish Highlands dedicated to the 1746 battle. The exhibits display weapons, documents, and artifacts from both sides of the conflict through interactive displays and detailed presentations.

Scotland offers visitors a wide range of historical sites and natural landscapes. This collection moves through castles that have watched over towns and valleys for centuries, through moorlands and mountains in the Highlands, along lochs, and to coastlines where the sea meets rock. It also includes museums, gardens, and places connected to the country's past. Among the sites are Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle, two fortresses that rise above their cities. Loch Ness draws people who want to see the water and the hills around it. Eilean Donan Castle sits on a small island, surrounded by water and peaks. The Isle of Skye presents rough terrain such as the Cuillin Hills. Glen Coe is a valley enclosed by steep slopes. In Glasgow, the cathedral and Kelvingrove Art Gallery invite exploration. The Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh provides calm within the city. The collection also takes in engineering works like the Falkirk Wheel and the Forth Bridge, and remote spots such as Ardnamurchan Lighthouse and Luskentyre Beach (about 1 mile or 1.6 kilometers long).
Inverness combines cultural heritage with natural landmarks. The region features fortifications like Urquhart Castle and Fort George, prehistoric sites such as Clava Cairns, and natural formations including Loch Ness. The city center contains the Victorian Market, Inverness Castle, and St Andrew's Cathedral. Surrounding areas offer wildlife viewing at Chanonry Point, walking paths at Ness Islands, and historical sites like Culloden Battlefield. The region extends to the Cairngorms National Park with its mountains and forests.
