Here we are on our tour of Loch Ness, among other things. This is the ruin of Castle Urquhart, which overlooks Loch Ness. We depart from here on our cruise.

The picturesque ruins of Urquhart Castle are situated 2 miles from Drumnadrochit on a rocky peninsula on the banks of Loch Ness. After a chequered history, the building was blown up in 1692 to prevent it becoming a Jacobite stronghold.
