Monster Spotting at Loch Maree

Located at a very remote location in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, Loch Maree is a group of scattered islands! With a surface area of about 28.7 sq km, the Loch Maree is the fourth largest freshwater loch in Scotland!
Apart from the beauty of the place, pine trees as old as 350 years, rare animals and plants, the story of the 'turtle-pig' like 'Loch Ness Monster' i.e. Nessie living inside the lake is also the reason behind tourists' interest in this place!

Though the Urguhart Castle is now a ruined fortress, one can still visit the place to get views of the battlements from the Grant Tower, admire the banquets at the Great Hall, and view a full-sized trebuchet. If you are on a Nessie-spotting trip, then the castle is supposedly the best place to do so!
