Explore Loch Ness, the home of "Nessie," a Scottish legend loved by people of all ages. You'll tour the ruins of Urquhart Castle, once a medieval Scottish stronghold on the shores of Loch Ness, and learn more about "Nessie," whose cave is thought to be under the castle. You'll arrive at the jagged ruins of Urquhart Castle, which stands next to the dark waters of Loch Ness. All that remains are a lone keep and crumbling walls of this stronghold. The Loch itself is 22 miles long, one mile wide and 740 feet deep, and derives its dark brown colour from peat. After your visit to the castle grounds and Visitor Centre, you'll re-board your motorcoach, sit back and relax on a scenic drive taking you back to Invergordon and your ship.
