With the attractive scenery and the possibility of a monster (怪物) sighting, Loch Ness is   the one of those rare destinations that engages everyone.

Urquhart Castle

Captured by Edward 1 in 1246, this prized castle changed hands between the Scots and English on several occasions. Though ruined today, it’s still possible to climb the Grant Tower and visit the battlements and prison cells. A cafe and visitor centre offer modern facilities in historic surroundings.

The Loch Ness Centre

For those who wish to digest the complete history of Loch Ness, this centre is particularly3 good at documenting the history of this mysterious stretch of water, including many attempts to search for Nessie, the infamous monster. It also holds curious artifacts (古器物) such as the diving suit worn by Lloyd Scott when he undertook his underwater marathon.

The Clansman Centre

At the south end of Loch Ness, this attraction uncovers the truth surrounding 18th-century family life. Audience members get the opportunity to put on Highland dress and there’s a demonstration on how weapons were used. The presentations take place within the recreated interior of a Highland house, adding atmosphere and authenticity (真实).

South Loch Ness Trail

This 36-mile route invites hikers along the quieter south side of Loch Ness, passing through three villages, and taking in the Falls of Foyers. Walkers hike a mix of minor roads and forest tracks, with highlights including Suidhe Viewpoint (a mountainous view at 1,200 feet). If it sounds too easygoing, then consider the Loch Ness 360° Trail instead for a more challenging, 80-mile route.
