Loch Ness Centre

Highlight • Monument

In this location, at the old Drumnadrochit Hotel, Mrs Aldie MacKay reported seeing a 'whale-like fish' or 'water beast' in the waters of Loch Ness. Her sighting sparked the birth of a monster media frenzy and created a global legend.

Clansman Harbour, Loch Ness

Highlight • Viewpoint

Clansman Harbor overlooks the Caledonian Canal.
An underpass leads to the Caledonian Canal. The Caledonian Canal runs through the Great Glen and connects the east and west coasts of Scotland. Unfortunately I didn't see Nessie.
The region thrives on this myth.

Loch Laide

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a steep climb from Loch Ness , but hard work gets to the top and some beautiful views. Keep on the road and you can branch to Beauly or back to Inverness

Water Fountain

Highlight • Rest Area

Looks like the owners of the Eco Cafe have set up a tap for passer by’s to fill up their water bottles. I didn’t need a top up so I can’t vouch for the purity but could be useful for topping up supplies.
