No matter the season the Scottish Highlands always attract a lot of visitors on a annual basis to escape the city life and swap over to a breath taking sweeping event of colour and beauty which surrounds the highlands each season. Heading down to Loch Ness from Inverness is a fabulous drive worth seeing.
Lakes are called lochs in Scotland and the best known one world wide is Loch Ness, famous for its monster theory . Anyone driving along the shore line of Nessie will appreciate the underlining beauty of the area with scenery like this no where else on earth.
The loch has two large sides which only part is drivable along the A82 from Inverness to Fort Augustus. The drive will take you approximately 60 minutes from top to bottom passing several key points en route to the fort. The middle part of the loch which is handy for stopping is called Drummadrochit. Here you can stop off and have a picnic or a bite to eat and continue taking pictures of the area.
Anyone who loves Scottish castles will adore both Urquhart and Inverness castles which can be found along the loch set up in the hills. Breath taking hill sides which changes colours in the autumn to burnt orange leaves is totally different from the sunny green luscious leaves of summer.
Mystery surrounds the monster who so called lives at the bottom of the lake. Be prepared to have your camera ready just in case you can spot the one and only Nessie who may surface on your holiday. There has only early being a few snaps of him taken a long time ago with several expeditions taking place to try and capture him on sonar with no luck. Many locals have tails and theories to tell any visitor wishing to listen. Who knows you could be the next Monster expert photographer.
Heading south towards the last town of Fort Augustus where you can join any one of the cruises which sail over the loch. This may be the end of the journey for some as the loch then flows downstream. Spend an afternoon in this beautiful part of Scotland and you will see how magical this area really is.
