  • A beautiful day out on Loch Ness and a visit to Urquhart Castle, one of the largest ruined castles in Scotland. Come on this tour and see the castle in all its glory. The castle dates from the 12th to the 17th Century and was destroyed by the Clan who were holding the castle for the King.

    Hi Rainkatt, I also visited around that time - no smart visitors' centre or cooked lunch and it was fun sharing the ruin with some sheep. All changed now. I also recall visiting Culloden Battlefield around the same time and it was the same, no facilities and a wooden hut where an old boy took a small sum of money for entry. Those were the days! :)

    My grandma was an Urquhart of the same family. I'll visit one day. Thanks for the video!

      Yes, I'm pleased to see they have retained it here. Good film inside the visitor centre to see how it is used.

    A very informative video
    We love visiting the Loch Ness area but we are unable to visit Urquhart castle as it's not dog friendly, so we loved this

    I visited back in 1975, there was no modern anything then, only the ruins and sheep. I remember sitting on those lower walls and eating a cold meatpie 🥧😊
    My friend and I missed the last bus back to Inverness and had to hitchhike back 😂

      @exclusivescottishvisits4757 I also remember an old caravan up top where you would park. It was a gift shop, a young, good looking man in a kilt sold items. I still have the pewter Nessie keybob I bought there!
