Inverness & Loch Ness

This is a beautiful but sometimes rugged part of the Highlands stretching from Nairn and Inverness overlooking the Moray Firth and Black Isle, down Loch Ness to Fort Augustus on its southern tip.  Loch Ness forms part of the Great Glen, a geological fault eroded further by the glaciers during the Ice Age, which cuts through the mountains from Inverness south-west to Fort William on the west coast. 

Whilst Nairn is a seaside resort, Inverness is a bustling city serving most of the Highlands.  The two main places of historical interest to visit are the site of the Battle of Culloden near Inverness, where the Jacobites were slaughtered by the English army in 1746, and the imposing Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness where many have claimed to have spotted the Loch Ness Monster.  Boating enthusiasts can travel from Inverness to Fort William on the west coast via the Caledonian Canal which joins Loch Ness with Loch Oich and Loch Lochy.  The imposing mountains and valleys provide ample opportunities for hikes and more gentle walks within outstanding scenery.
