1Urquhart Castle
One of Scotland’s most iconic ruins. Situated on a dramatic headland overlooking Loch Ness, this 13th-century fortress is renowned for its 1,000-year history of conflict and the notable Grant Tower. The castle served as a strategic stronghold during the Wars of Scottish Independence, frequently becoming a target for the MacDonald Lords of the Isles. It later served as a final garrison during the Jacobite Risings before its destruction in 1692. Today, in addition to its deep historical significance and appeal to fans of the Outlander television series, it remains a premier location for those hoping to catch a glimpse of Nessie.
