    Loch Ness

    Come with me for a panoramic tour around the whole of Loch Ness. Take in the breath taking views from every angle while we take our time to explore Loch Ness and the surrounding Towns and Villages. Loch Ness is the largest body of freshwater by volume in Great Britain and holds an estimated 263 billion cubic feet of water. Whilst being a stunning location in its own right situated within the Great Glen (Glen Urquhart), It is also the home to the very elusive Loch Ness Monster, aptly named 'Nessie'.
