The Scottish Highlands region
From golden beaches and friendly dolphins to dramatic castles and a particularly mysterious monster, Inverness, Loch Ness and Nairn are sure to captivate any visitor.
Inverness, the bustling, attractive capital of the Highlands and Scotland's millennium city, makes an ideal base for exploring the area. The city sits on the picturesque River Ness, which flows into the Moray Firth - probably the best place to see dolphins in Europe. To the east is the traditional seaside resort of Nairn with its golden sandy beaches and championship golf courses, and to the north the pretty Highland village of Beauly.
There is an impressive castle at Cawdor, while you can marvel at the Caledonian Canal at Fort Augustus. Explore the natural world in the ancient woodlands of Glen Affric and around the Great Glen - indeed, the scenery in the area is amazing. Loch Ness is probably the best-known Scottish loch, thanks to its famous resident - Nessie, the friendly Loch Ness monster. You can find out all about her in Drumnadrochit, and say hello if you see her from the ruins of picture-postcard Urquhart Castle.
The Loch Ness / Fort Augustus area
If you're planning a holiday in Scotland, or a visit to the UK from abroad you really should put Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland at the top of your list of UK holiday destinations.
Our accommodation in the Fort Augustus Abbey sits on the southern tip of Loch Ness in The Highlands of Scotland. Loch Ness is situated on the north eastern end of the Great Glen. Flights are available in to Inverness from many major airports and train stations can be found in both Inverness and Fort William.
This beautiful Loch (another word for lake) is 23 miles long and 1 mile wide and extremely deep. In fact, Loch Ness is the largest body of fresh water in Britain and contains more water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined. The Highland Club at The Abbey where you will find the Loch Retreat
Nessie the Loch Ness Monster was first sited by Saint Columba in 565AD. There have been many many sightings since this time and all we can do is to keep looking and hope for our own sighting! There are many places whilst staying at The Aonach Mor apartments to sit and watch, or just relax by this mysterious and most beautiful body of water.
The monster is not the only long-running legend in the area, as Loch Ness is also home to one of the best marathons in the UK. It is the biggest in Scotland which takes place in a rural setting, and brings lots of opportunities for all kinds of runners to take part – either in the marathon or one of the associated running events.
The central location of Loch Ness also makes it an ideal place to stay and tour The Highlands, from castles, to hiking, walking, climbing, golf, fishing, distilleries, something for everyone.
There are two distinct boat trips you can enjoy on Loch Ness and both are moored just outside The Abbey grounds. Cruising on beautiful Loch Ness on the Royal Scot is one of the best ways to enjoy some of the Highland's stunning scenery. Or enjoy the unique, fast and exhilarating rigid inflatable boat (RIB) trip accessing loch-side areas which are otherwise inaccessible to larger cruises.
