20 minutes from one of the Highland’s greatest gems
Achnagairn Estate is extremely lucky to be only a 20 minute drive from the world-renowned Highland highlight: Loch Ness. We recommend a cruise along the Loch with Jacobite cruises, journeying up the Loch, and ending at the magnificent, historic ruin of Urquhart Castle. A leisurely tour will allow you to explore the great Loch’s history to the fullest, taking in the stunning scenery, and of course keeping a weather eye out for a spot of Nessie sighting.
Cutting clean through Scotland’s Great Glen from Inverness to Fort William, the Caledonian Canal covers an impressive 60 miles in length and is considered one of the greatest waterways of the world. Iconic and legendary, Loch Ness boasts waters that are internationally renowned both for its beauty and for its myths.
From tales of the ancient water-dwelling beast, “Nessie”, to gorgeous boat cruises across the sparkling waters, there’s plenty to see, learn and do and there are treats for all age ranges. Will you go on a hunt for the Loch Ness monster, or will you simply sit back and relax and enjoy the Scottish Highland scenery? The choice is yours, but don’t forget that sunscreen!
