Urquhart Castle, Drumnadrochit

Visited many castles within my 10 day trip of the UK, and this one is by far the most well kept one. Staff was very friendly, there was access for handicap people which came in handy since my mother in law had busted her knee earlier in the trip and they gave us a motorized chair for her to get around free of charge. The castle itself is small but definitely gets you on the edge of the Loch, while giving you some spectacular pictures of the scenery around. Very clean, very well maintained, and very gorgeous views from the inside of the ruins! A bit on the expensive side for how small it is, but it's worth it seeing how much they invested on making the Castle grounds accessible for all.

Beautiful vistas and great history. I would suggest that anyone headed here be able to walk reasonably well. There are some pretty scary stair cases. Incredible views are worth it and then some, though!

It's pretty cool. Can easily spend a few hours here if you do all the reading and everything. Beautiful view of Loch Ness. Weather was wonderful so it made for an awesome afternoon. This castle is motel dilapidated and much of it has been destroyed. So if you are looking to tour a fully in tact castle this is definitely not the place. Lots of history here though.

One of the very beautiful castles in the entire Scotland, I would say, and if great historical importance. Strategically located on the shore of the Loch Ness, you have to take a boat ride to reach to the castle. Very well maintained and fantastic location for photography for its spectacular views. Nice cafe and good gift shop with many varieties.

We arrived by boat over Loch Ness which was a great way to enjoy a trip to this castle. It is ruins and has great scenery. Information boards situated in most parts of the ruins explain which 'room' you are in. It was an enjoyable visit, but not a castle that held as much interest for the children as many others. No real sense of the past or its use felt as in other places we have visited. Excellent views across Loch Ness from the ruins.
