Urquhart Castle – 15-Minute Drive
Once the site of a Bronze Age fortress, Urquhart Castle was visited by St Columba in the sixth century. A natural progression followed with the construction of a medieval castle in the thirteenth century, which was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, eventually becoming the third largest castle in Scotland.
In 1692, it was finally destroyed by government forces to prevent its use as a Jacobite stronghold. Today, it stands as a romantic ruin with many fascinating features to explore.
Glen Affric – 7 Miles Away
A stunning 10-mile drive along Glen Affric brings you to one of the most beautiful glens in Scotland, offering a glimpse of what the Highlands may have looked like 8,000 years ago.
Magnificent Scots pines and native woodlands surround sparkling lochs and fast-flowing burns, creating a truly breathtaking landscape. There are also some excellent woodland walks to enjoy, suitable for all levels.
Inverness Castle – 19 Miles
Beautifully situated above the River Ness, Inverness Castle is relatively modern by Highland standards, having been built around 150 years ago.
The site itself, however, has a much older history, it may once have hosted a Pictish fort, then perhaps one of Macbeth’s castles, and later became a medieval stronghold. In the eighteenth century, the Hanoverians constructed Fort George on this spot, only for it to be blown up by Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobites.
Today, the castle serves as the local courthouse, so you won’t be able to explore the interior unless you’re very unlucky, but it’s definitely worth a photo from the outside!
Corrimony Prehistoric Stone Circle – Just 3 Miles
This ancient standing stone circle, and burial cairn, dates back nearly four thousand years, offering a fascinating glimpse into Scotland’s prehistoric past.
As you walk around the site, try to imagine it as it once was, the cairn faced with white and pink stones, surrounded by a shelf of seashells. When archaeologists opened it in the 1950s, they discovered the cremated remains of a woman, who had been laid to rest here thousands of years earlier.
A truly atmospheric, and unmissable, local landmark.
Fort Augustus – Gateway to Loch Ness
A favourite pastime, for both tourists and locals, is to sit outside a bar or restaurant in Fort Augustus with a drink or a meal, spending a lazy hour or two watching the boats pass through the series of locks on the Caledonian Canal.
