15 Urquhart Castle

Urquhart Castle overlooks the legendary Loch Ness and makes for a lovely Scottish Highlands excursion. Take the bus from Inverness. and you'll spot shaggy Highland cattle along the way. Or book a boat ride if you're in the mood for an hour or so of cruising. Urquhart Castle should be included in the outing. You can search the waters for the local monster or take in the scenery that will make you internally hum the theme song from Outlander. The castle ruins tell a fascinating story that goes as far back as the 13th century, and you can find reasonably priced Nessie souvenirs at the gift shop.
