Nessie

The First recorded sighting was by St Columba the Irish Missionary some 1400 years ago.  Stories of "Nessie" have been many and varied ever since.  The 2 Exhibition Centres in Drumnadrochit have on display all the information of sightings and details of the scientific research gathered over many years and to this day the legend of "Nessie" continues.  I will leave you to discover for yourself the attraction of Loch Ness and its illusive monster.

We have 2 Nessie Centres each with their own way of telling you all about "Nessie" sightings over the years and about Loch Ness in general
 

Loch Ness

Scotland’s most famous stretch of water is over 800ft (240m) deep in places and around 24mls (38km) long with a large diversity of scenery along its length.

Drumnadrochit is the nerve centre of the Nessie legend, myth etcWe all would like to believe in “Nessie” and over the years there appears to have been many sightings from visitors from home and abroad with many coming back year after year.

Even without the "Nessie" attraction Loch Ness, Drumnadrochit, Glen Affric and all the surrounding area with its majestic hills and spectacular scenery is a sight not to be missed.

Urquhart Bay

Urquhart Castle stands on a headland overlooking Urquhart Bay and commands a lovely view over the loch and an ideal vantage point to look for our elusive monster "Nessie".

There is a new car park and exhibition centre with a short film showing the history of the castle and how it became a ruin in 1692. I will leave the film to tell you the rest of the story.

Also well worth a visit is the new restaurant where you can relax and look over your purchases from the many gifts for sale or discuss the legend of "Nessie" at same time enjoying the scenic beauty of Loch Ness while you sit overlooking Urquhart Castle and of course keeping a sharp look out for “Nessie”.
