It’s time to tick Loch Ness off your Scotland bucket list, as we go in search of the infamous Loch Ness Monster. We promise you’ll get cool photos of Loch Ness and the surrounding scenery. A glimpse of ‘Nessie’ in the background is just an extra bonus!
Loch Ness is not the biggest or the deepest loch in Scotland, but it is definitely the most well-known. For this, we can thank the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. The first sighting of ‘Nessie’ was in 565AD by St Columba, when the monster reared its ugly head and launched an attack on his man servant. Much later, the ‘Surgeons Photograph’ from 1934 was considered the best and most famous capture of the beast, until it was later revealed to be a fake.! Of all Scotland’s lochs, Loch Ness has the highest volume of water. Glaciers carved the crazy-deep cavity of the loch, which holds more water than all the lakes in England and Wales. The water is so full of peat from the surrounding hills, its depths are almost pitch-black. Perfect hiding place for a monster if you ask us!

Name: Glen Coe
NameShort: Glen Coe
As far as Scottish scenery goes, you don’t get more dramatic than the mighty Glencoe. ‘Glen’ is Gaelic for valley, and this jaw-dropper was deeply carved into the landscape during the Ice Age. From the sprawling peaks to crystal-clear rivers, Glencoe is guaranteed to blow your wee socks off.
Glencoe translates as the ‘weeping glen’, and it certainly lives up to its name. Waterfalls run from misty peaks through the glen’s gorges and creases, and are particularly dramatic after a downpour of “liquid sunshine”. Glencoe’s name also reflects the sad history of the clan who once lived there. In 1692, the government redcoats murdered Clan MacDonald in their beds, as punishment for their Jacobite allegiance. This bloody and brutal betrayal of Highland hospitality is remembered in history as the Massacre of Glencoe. Glencoe is dominated by majestic mountains which completely contrast the vast and flat expanse of its neighbouring Rannoch Moor. Buachaille Etive Mòr, which overlooks the moor, is a bonnie brute of a mountain, and a fond favourite with photographers. We think that Glencoe is the most photogenic when the weather is moody and atmospheric.

Don’t just look at the loch, get on it! Loop around the southern end of Loch Ness on this water-based adventure, taking in the scenery, history and legends of the Loch Ness Monster. Will you be convinced ‘Nessie’ lurks beneath?

Name: Rannoch Moor
NameShort: Rannoch Moor
Rannoch Moor is 50 square miles of wildly gorgeous nothingness. Uninhabited wilderness is difficult to come by, and the Rannoch Moor is one of very few left in Europe. Road access is limited, so our adventure is on foot. Rannoch Moor is boggy, beautiful and completely off-the-beaten-track.
Rannoch Moor is vast and expansive. Witness spotlights of sunshine on one side, while the dark haze of a downpour dominates the sky in the distance. The wild landscape is scattered with lochans, peaty bogs, and heather patches. Rannoch Moor is uninhabitable thanks to the remote and unforgiving terrain, yet makes the perfect home for wee birds and creatures, including Roe deer. Road-trippers skirt the west of the moor, with Buachaille Etive Mòr and Glencoe nearby. On the other side, the West Highland Line passes through the isolated Rannoch Station; it was used as the filming location for Ewan McGregor’s hilarious rant in the Scottish cult classic Trainspotting. We get right in amongst it, as we trail the Old Military Road through the wilderness, and onwards to the mighty Glencoe. The Rannoch Moor is where we quite literally ‘get away from it all’.

Name: Fort Augustus
NameShort: Fort Augustus
On the southern tip of Loch Ness sits the pretty village of Fort Augustus, and one of the most impressive sections of the Caledonian Canal. Go in search of our famous monster with Cruise Loch Ness, or pose for a perfect picture at the Loch Ness Viewpoint.
Fort Augustus was named after the Duke of Cumberland – William Augustus – who led the government army into the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The village is a hotspot for tourists looking to get up close and personal with Scotland’s most famous loch. Fort Augustus marks the midway point between Inverness and Fort William on the Great Glen Way; a popular route for walking, cycling and sailing. The Caledonian Canal is an epic feat of engineering, and a picturesque picnic spot for watching boats pass through the lock system. Venture to the Loch Ness Viewpoint at the end of the canal to look lovingly down the length of the loch, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the notorious ‘Nessie’. ‘Woven Sounds’ is super-cool viewpoint which winds through the forest, and extends over the edge of the pool, facing directly towards the falls. Pretty pictures are guaranteed! This modern, steel walkway allows for an up-close and immersive experience of the falls, which can be heard before they come into sight.
