"Good luck if you’ve come here to witness the eponymous monster—though, given the dark, brooding waters of Loch Ness, seemingly anything is possible. At the very least, you’re bound to enjoy some beautiful scenery, from verdant shores to snowcapped peaks. One of the best ways to experience the loch is by boat tour, several of which leave daily from the Loch Ness Centre & Exhibition in Inverness. Alternatively, you can drive up the A82 highway along the lake’s western shore, stopping at such spots as Castle Urquhart, a romantic stone ruin that’s some 1,000 years old."

"If you're not too afraid of the Loch Ness monster, wild swimming in Britain's longest lake is a must for the bucket list. Experts recommend starting from the small beach opposite Urquhart Castle and wading down through the fields. Hopefully it'll just be the cold that nips..."

This was the experience of an absolute life time, went looking for the monster for the first time. (Unfortunately I didn't see it) And despite it being brutally cold & windy. It didn't take away from the experience. The scenery was stunning, and seeing Urquhart Castle from afar really was something. Hopefully one day I'll be able to do this again.

This was a great experience, we went in winter so it was a bit cold and rainy but enjoyed it non the less. Nessie did not make an appearance unfortunately...😜

The Locks at the Loch were engineering genius. I walked around the town and did not do any cruises. Lovely town with plenty of dining options. Is that the Loch Ness monster peeking in one of my photos.

This is one of the most beautiful sights to see in the Highlands of Scotland. The views are breathtaking, and there are many boat trips to choose from,each offering their own unique take on the legend of The Loch Ness Monster. There are stunning ruins of Urquhart Castle to be seen from the shores and most boat trips sail past so you can see it up close.
