Scotland's Monster Loch

By Poppy Hill


The North of Scotland attracts a lot of visitors each year mainly tourists flying into Inverness Airport or Aberdeen Airport. Ask anyone who is heading south from the airport to visit the famous Loch Ness what breathtaking beautiful surroundings there is to behold when driving from Inverness to reach the loch.

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.

Both sides of the lake stretch from the top which is close to Inverness town centre until the end of the loch which is around 30 miles long at Fort Augustus. Driving along the loch from Inverness to Fort Augustus will probably take you around 55 minutes non stop. Who can resist the drive through when there are so many different photo opportunities down by Drummadrochit which is mid-way down the loch.

There are several advantage points along the shore which you will be able to view not one but two castles Inverness and Urquhart. No matter what part of the road you stop and take pictures you will be able to enjoy panoramic views of this stunning lake.

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.

The final stop of the loch is a place called Fort Augustus which is busy with the day cruises along the shores of the Loch packed with visitors all waiting to catch a glimpse of Nessie.
