Loch
Ness
The
first "sighting" of the Loch Ness Monster
normally occurs in early Spring each year - just before
the tourist season begins! |
 |
Urquhart
Castle
This
is a very good reason to visit Loch Ness - situated
just past Drumnadrochit - but beware the road from Inverness
as it's one of Scotland's accident blackspots. |
 |
Culloden
Site
of the famous battle that all but ended the Jacobite
Rebellion of 1745. |
 |
Eden
Court Theatre
Excellent
theatre by the river in Inverness - now re-open after
massive refurbishment. The city has a growing number
of pleasant restaurants (Rocpool, Rocpool Reserve, The
Mustard Seed, Cafe One, Abstract, Contrast, amongst
others) that offer great value lunches and pre-theatre
dinners.

Inverness
Caledonian Thistle FC
Promoted
recently to the Scottish Premier Division - and despite
being tipped for instant relegation our local soccer
team have proved the critics wrong by holding their
own and proving to be somewhat of an irritation to the
bigger teams such as Celtic and Rangers. |
 |
Pitlochry
Festival Theatre
Popular
seasonal theatre - a trip that could be combined
with a visit to Blair Castle and Edradour Distillery. |
 |
Dolphins
and Seals
Take
a boat trip on the Moray Firth, or drive to Rosemarkie
on the Black Isle for a chance to spot dolphins or Evanton
on the Cromarty Firth to watch seals from the roadside. |

Blair
Castle
Seat
of the Duke of Atholl and Scotland's most visited private
home! |
