Stretching almost from Inverness to Fort William, the famous Loch Ness is the defining feature of this Highland county, yours to explore with one of our holiday cottages in Inverness-shire.
Inverness is known as the capital of the Highlands and is one of Scotland’s fastest growing towns. It also has some good pubs and restaurants. You can take a boat from here into Loch Ness – a great way to soak up the scenery. Loch Ness itself is most impressive and famous around the world for its legendary monster. Who knows, you may even spot it yourself on one of our Inverness-shire cottage holidays.
At the other end of Loch Ness stands Fort William, the largest town in the West Highlands, and a major centre for walking and other outdoor activities. Nearby is atmospheric Glen Coe and Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain. If you’ve an interest in military history, do pay a visit to Fort George, a massive fortification built after the Jacobite rebellion in 1745. It features an impressive collection of arms and military equipment. Or, in complete contrast, there’s the Moray Firth Dolphin and Seal Visitor Centre in North Kessock.
