Loch Ness
Loch Ness is famous as the home of the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Visitors flock here to scour the dark waters for a sign of the elusive monster. The Urquhart Castle ruins stand on a rocky peninsula on the dark, moody banks of Loch Ness, and it was near here that "Nessie" was reportedly sighted in 1977.
Inverness
The bustling city of Inverness is the traditional capital of the Scottish Highlands. Ringed by hills and anchored by the sea at the northern end of Loch Ness, the strategic location of the city is marked by Inverness Castle.
Dingwall
Located near the head of the Cromarty Firth and roughly 15 miles northwest of Inverness, Dingwall is home to Dingwall Castle, which dates back to the 11th century and was at one time the largest castle north of Stirling.
