Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle

We left Sunnyside on the Culloden Moor and drove south for 3 hours. We called into a display centre featuring the searches that have been made to find the Loch Ness monster!
Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 kilometres southwest of Inverness. Its surface is 16 metres above sea level.
We then stopped to see the ruins of Urquhart castle on the banks above Loch Ness. The present ruins date from the 13th to the 16th centuries, though built on the site of an early medieval fortification. Urquhart played a role in the the war of Scotlands Independence.
It was impossible to capture the awesome scenery as we drove as there were very few areas to stop on the narrow roads.
Our campsite tonight is beside the sea at North Ledaig.Read more
