The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

Discover Loch Ness and the Scottish Highlands

Whether you're a Nessie believer or not, there's more to Loch Ness than the monster. Nestled within the grandeur of the Great Glen in the Scottish Highlands, and surrounded by the most spectacular and dramatic landscapes, the area surrounding Loch Ness is a walker's paradise. The tiny village of Drumnadrochit on the banks of Loch Ness is home to the Loch Ness Exhibition Centre and the romantic ruins of Urquhart Castle, once one of Scotland's most impressive strongholds. Delve into Scotland's turbulent past at the Culloden Battlefield, site of the last battle fought on the British mainland, or spot a sixteenth century ghost at Cawdor Castle, made famous by Shakespeare's Macbeth. North-east of Inverness lies the coastal town of Nairn, home to golden beaches and championship golf courses.
