What to expect
Loch Ness
Your Journey will begin at the legendary Loch Ness where tales abound of the Loch Ness Monster, more affectionately known as Nessie. Loch Ness is the largest by volume body of water in the British Isles and contains more water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined.
15 minutes
Urquhart Castle
The majestic ruins of Urquhart Castle will come into view. Standing strategically on a steep promontory, the castle has witnessed many ravages, from Jacobite uprisings to wars of Scottish independence. Here you can step back in time and experience the breathtaking splendor of Loch Ness and the waters of the Great Glen.
90 minutes
Admission Not Included
Invermoriston Falls
Invermoriston Falls and Summer House: Tumbling under the ancient Invermoriston Bridge, the Falls are formed from a series of rapids that rush along the rocky river. A short walk will take you to the summer house, a romantic Victorian folly, built by the former laird of Glenmoriston and designed to shelter his house guests as they watched salmon migrating upstream.
15 minutes
Fort Augustus
The pretty village of Fort Augustus is a favorite stop-off point for mariners and tourists alike. It's situated at the confluence of River Oich where it enters the middle section of the Canal which in total runs some 60 miles (100 kilometres) from Inverness to Fort William. On a busy day, the village becomes a hub of activity as onlookers watch in amazement as boats navigate the five canal locks lifting them onwards through the Great Glen.
60 minutes
The Falls of Foyers
Join us for a short but spectacular walk to the sight of south Loch Ness and the cascading elegance of the Falls of Foyers as they plunge into a frozen wonderland.
30 minutes
Boleskine House
Boleskine House was built around 1760 and owned at one time by the Fraser family, occultist Aleister Crowley, and later, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, Boleskine House is said to have a tunnel leading directly to the estate cemetery, which adds to its eerie air of mystery and intrigue.
Dores Beach
The Nessie Hunter and Dores Beach: From his simple accommodation on the shores of Loch Ness, for more than 30 years, Steve Feltham (the Nessie Hunter) has dedicated his life to finding Nessie. Sharing the location with wide, sweeping views of the Loch, The Dores Inn is a popular hostelry where, if you wish, we can rest a while and enjoy a dram or two before returning to Inverness.
