View of Loch Ness from Dores Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is one of the best views of Loch Ness. Perhaps you might spot the Loch Ness Monster?! The mysterious Nessie was first photographed in 1933 and continues to be spotted to this day, however it is easy for it to keep out of view, as the Loch is the most voluminous lake in the UK.

View of Aldourie Castle

Highlight • Castle

Here you can sneak a peak through the woods at this lovingly maintained building. This privately owned castle is available to rent, and stands on the grounds of the original property built in 1626. It is an example of Scottish Baronial architecture and was given 'castle' status in the 19th Century.
