Take a trip to the beautiful ruins of URQHART CASTLE, this castle is over 500 years old, it is one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. Visit Whisky Distilleries. Glen Ord was founded in 1838. Visit Fort George or Fort William, Fort William town is popular with tourists since the filming of the movie "Rob Roy" and "Braveheart". There are superb shops to buy postcards or even a souvenir of the Loch Ness Monster itself.
Climb up "Ben Nevis". Ben Nevis is 406 feet high, one of the highest mountains in Britain. "Nevis" comes from the Gaelic word for "Heaven". Take a trip down the Loch Ness trail, spectacular views of the Loch, many stop off areas for you to park and take a walk down to the Loch.Quick Tips:
We stayed at the "Drumnadrochit Hotel" in a village called Drunmadrochit, situated around spectacular mountain scenes with exceptional views of highland scenery. Drumnadrochit looks like it has become the place for exploring the history of Loch Less.
Visit the Exhibition Centre, situated next door to the Drumnadrochit Hotel, there are shops to buy souveneirs, including a malt whisky called "Loch Ness". Travel into the town of Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands. Take a tour on one of the open-top buses, have a day excursion from Inverness by coach. Take a boat trip or cruise.
Stay at the Drumnadrochit Hotel, and receive a voucher for one person to free admission into the Exhibition Centre - well worth it - the cost for the both of us then was £12.00. We travelled in March, the weather was cold, it had snowed, the scenery was exquisite, a postcard picture to say the least, not many tourists at that time of year. It could get very busy indeed during the summer months. A good suggestion - make sure you have plenty of antifreeze in your car, the temperature can drop very low. Wrap up well and you will enjoy every moment.
Best Way To Get Around:
Scotland is a lovely place to visit, the best way to travel is by car, taxi, bus or coach. You can get to see a lot if you travel by foot. We walked for miles on our weekend visit, you can walk up into the woods, see brilliant water falls, wildlife, birds, climb mountains and most of all you meet very friendly people who will go out of their way to help you.
