About Urquhart Castle

Perched on the shores of Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle is one of Scotland’s most iconic historic sites. With over 1,000 years of history, the castle witnessed fierce battles during the Wars of Independence, raids by the Lords of the Isles, and the Jacobite Risings. Today, its dramatic ruins offer stunning loch views, medieval artefacts, the towering Grant Tower, and immersive experiences including an audio guide and interactive exhibits.
