Invergordon: Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle - A Historic and Scenic Adventure

Embark on a captivating journey from Invergordon to the majestic Loch Ness, where history and legend converge. Explore the stunning ruins of Urquhart Castle, perched on the loch’s banks, and set sail on a boat cruise to search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster amidst breathtaking landscapes.

Depart Invergordon and journey south to the scenic banks of Loch Ness, arriving at Urquhart Castle. Once a crucial highland stronghold positioned strategically along the Great Glen, Urquhart Castle’s storied past ended dramatically in 1692 when it was blown up to prevent it from falling into Jacobite hands. Today, the castle’s picturesque ruins, surrounded on three sides by the deep, cold waters of Loch Ness, offer a stunning historical backdrop.

From the castle's jetty, embark on a boat cruise across one of the world’s most iconic lochs. Keep an eye out for the elusive Loch Ness Monster, a mystery that has intrigued researchers for decades. Loch Ness stretches 37 kilometers long, 1.6 kilometers wide, and reaches a depth of 230 meters. Revel in the breathtaking scenery, including majestic mountains, and gain insights into the loch’s rich history and geology.

After the cruise, disembark at the Loch Ness pier and return to your ship.
