This tour showcases must-see Scottish destinations, including moody Loch Ness, romantic Urquhart Castle and Inverness, the ‘Capital of the Highlands.” Sit back and enjoy the lovely Scottish glen scenery as you make your way along the shores of Cromarty Firth and Beauly Firth enroute to the northern tip of Loch Ness. and heading for the each with its own charm as you take this scenic route towards world-famous Loch Ness. The loch is extremely beautiful, long and narrow with steep wooded banks and a depth of 900 feet in places. As you drive its shores, you’ll likely be torn between ogling the spectacular setting and scouring the waters for signs of ever-shy Nessie. It’s simply impossible not to look for her – or him. Once you reach the Ness-side village of Drumnadrochit, you’ll visit iconic Urquhart Castle – a 14th-century fortified residence with an action-packed history. Blown up in 1692, it’s been a truly magnificent ruin ever since – its jagged keep rising from crumbling walls against a backdrop of loch waters and rolling hills. After a panoramic spin through Inverness, you’ll cross the elegant Kessock Bridge and reenter the Northern Highlands for still more marvelous scenery enroute back to Invergordon.
