Loch Ness / Drumnadrochit

Urquhart Castle (Loch Ness)

Ruins of one of Scotland's largest medieval castles on the shore of Loch Ness; climb the Grant Tower for panoramic views of the loch and the Great Glen, and see the Great Hall, a prison cell and a full-sized trebuchet. Tickets often sell out and none are sold at the castle once online sales end, so book ahead.
