An amazing castle with a great and interesting history. I went during the fort's opening hours and was almost alone in the castle. Whether the weather is clear or cloudy, the scenery is really great, and I definitely recommend it! A wonderful place to stop along the ramparts to experience the medieval era. The castle has a fantastic view of the loch and is quite nice. There are many stairs to climb to walk around the castle, but it's worth it. There are also nice souvenir shops, clean toilet facilities, and a nice cafe in the area. We paid 14 pounds per adult for entry to the castle. There is plenty of parking space outside the attraction. The clouds are barely hanging over the water, and the ruins stand between the emerald forests and the wildflower meadows. The view of the loch is perfect. Sit and marvel if there aren't too many tourists. It's a destination you must stop at if you're passing by. An amazing historic castle in the Loch Ness region. Most aspects of the castle ruins are detailed on information boards. There are a few free guided tours, but I cannot attest to their quality as we chose not to join them. Unfortunately, the gift shop and cinema were closed. It's 1 pound for Young Scot cardholders! I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through the Highlands. The tour guides around are very friendly. They embrace the history and bring it to life, and you will be informed and appreciative.

This is a castle known as A castle for all seasons. During the Christmas period in the UK, the little human had no preconceptions and was able to step into it and be intoxicated by the scenery. Such a wonderful thing happened naturally with great luck. From the visitor center upstairs and downstairs, near the entrance, the little human's eyes were fixed. What followed was an indescribable brilliant and open mood. Yes, just as these pictures show, the little human witnessed the irregularly shaped free clouds that make up the fairyland, the light blue cold and silent deep lake water, the large green grassland that humans have no heart to trample on, and the fortress that can glimpse the traces of history due to half damage... This is one of the most beautiful sceneries that the little human was fortunate to see in Scotland, and only used reckless running to express the mood of being intoxicated by this scene and this situation
