Day 6 - Breathtaking Loch Ness cruise to Urquhart Castle
Remember your cameras for a cruise on Loch Ness this morning
because evidence of its famous mythical monster, Nessie, is said to
be worth around $1.25million.
This huge loch - the UK's largest by volume - is also blessed
with some of Scotland's most breathtaking scenery. Surrounded by
mountains, we glide by fairytale forests before visiting Urquhart
Castle, a 13th-century castle perched on the banks of the loch.
These atmospheric ruins are a delight to explore and house a
historic collection of weaponry including a working trebuchet.
There's also plenty of time to make the most of the panoramic views
over Loch Ness before heading back to our hotel.
You're at leisure in Inverness for the rest of the day and could
enjoy a beautiful riverside stroll, delighting in the babbling
river, verdant forests and local wildlife. Alternatively, visit the
stunning Inverness Castle whose most famous resident, King Mac
Bethad mac Findláech, was the inspiration for Shakespeare's
Macbeth. With no scheduled dinner, tonight is the perfect
opportunity to enjoy a meal at one of the city's many appealing
pubs or restaurants.
* Please note: On certain departure dates, we stay at the
Drumossie or the Clansman Hotel outside Inverness. Therefore, we
have dinner at the hotel on this evening.
