Urquhart Castle Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Urquhart Castle stands on the south side of Inverness and on the cliff on the shore of Lake Ness. It is condescending and surrounded by water on three sides. It was once a military fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and one of the important ancient relics in the Scottish Highlands. Now it leaves the world with only some ruins. It is said that in 1691, the castle defenders were defeated and blew up by themselves in order to prevent the castle from being occupied by the enemy. Urquhart Castle covers a large area. The castle you can see now was built by Alan Durter in the 13th century. The main tower exposed because of the collapse shows the internal structure of the castle like an anatomical sample. Because it is located in the fortress of Goron Canyon, the military position is very important.

We booked the 2.5 hour clansman & castle freedom cruise. This tour departed from Clansman Harbour to cruise across the dark waters of Loch Ness and 1 hour exploration of the Urquhart Castle ruins site. Great adventure! 👍🏻
A ruin but ful of magic! Worth visiting. There is also a small cinema which shows a 10 minute video about the history..
On the shore of Loch Ness, the scenery is good. It is raining, some fly in the ointment. Self-driving tourists, in advance, there are many curves here, the speed is fast, and you may drive there if you don't pay attention. It is recommended not to go to the Scottish Highlands in winter, the rain and snow are too cold.
Urquhart Castle, ruins by Loch Ness. The surrounding green space reflects the loneliness of the castle.
The largest and oldest castle in Scotland, built in 1600 on the cliff of the central shore of Lake Ness. Although there are only ruins and broken walls, standing on the castle, Lake Ness can still see the dangerous and magnificent shore of that year.
