The Monsters of Loch Ness
What you need to know before your trail
You would be hard pushed to find a person on the planet today who has not heard about the Loch Ness Monster, its part of modern day culture and feeds into the very fabric of society. Thousands of sightings have been made at this Scottish Loch over the centuries and are still being made today. But can they all be genuine? If as some believe, Loch Ness harbours a species of unknown creatures then why haven’t they been found and catalogued? In this sophisticated day and age where satellites in space can read the print of a newspaper held by a man in the street we still don’t know what secrets are held in this deep Scottish loch.

BookTrail Travel to Loch Ness
Loch Ness is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands which is around 13 miles long. It starts at Inverness and extends all the way down to Fort Augustus ( approx)
The loch is best known for alleged sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as “Nessie. And there have been quite a few over the years!
One of the most well known sighting spots are the ruins of Urquhart Castle – ruins you can walk around with stunning views of the loch and maybe the monster itself. To be sure to spot him, visit the Drumnadrochit visitor centre as there’s a big statue outside and many more inside!
If you look around, take a boat tour and spend time on the banks – be aware that a major road runs around the loch and is in use everyday. Tourists should not attempt to slow down /stop on the roads but to be sensible and pull into one of the many laybys. Nessie spotting should never be more important than common sense.
