Visit one of Scotland’s most famed castles and a main site for reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. Travel south to Urquhart Castle, a strategic stronghold in the Highlands. It is positioned on the banks of Loch Ness, which would have been a main route through the Great Glen that divides the Highlands. Take a tour with your knowledgeable local guide to discover its dramatic history. Urquhart Castle dates back in written records to the 6th century, but in archaeology and folklore, it dates all the way back to the time of the Picts. The castle’s checkered history came to a dramatic end in 1692, when the castle was blown up to avoid it falling into Jacobite hands. What remains are picturesque and impressive ruins for you to explore, surrounded on three sides by the cold, deep waters of Loch Ness.
