Drumnadrochit - The Heart of Loch Ness - Scotland
Moody Loch Ness, the ancient Caledonian Forest of Glen Affric, spectacular waterfalls and a land steeped in history. At the centre of this land of outstanding natural beauty lies Drumnadrochit, the premier location for exploring the Highlands.
You will find that a warm welcome awaits you when you make Drumnadrochit and surrounding Glen Urquhart your holiday destination. Located in a sheltered valley running down to the worlds most famous loch, Drumnadrochit can provide visitors with a range of facilities and services to cater for most tastes and budgets.
Accommodation ranges from backpackers through to B & B's, self-catering and hotels. Eating out offers a choice from café/bistro fare to top quality restaurant meals.
There are various boat trips based in the village with which to explore Loch Ness (and perhaps catch a glimpse of its most famous inhabitant!) Spectacular Urquhart Castle and two Exhibition Centres will give you an insight into the history and ecology of this unique stretch of water.
Pony trekking, mountain biking or just exploring the many miles of forest and mountain tracks is all available on your doorstep.
Being situated on the main east/west route across the Highlands, Drumnadrochit is the ideal base to take advantage of the vagaries of the Scottish weather. When the western highlands are having cloudy, rainy weather, the east side of the country can often be bright and sunny - and vice versa. Making Drumnadrochit your holiday base gives you the option to choose the best of the weather and access a range of venues within a couple of hours drive to the east or west.
Whether it is the lure of the wild highlands, the spectacular beaches of the Moray Firth or the amenities of our Highland capital, Inverness, that takes your fancy, DRUMNADROCHIT is the place for you.
