We are going to try to find its shy inhabitant “Nessie”On the way to its also famous and old castle since some of the rocks date back to the year 600 Urquhart! Here we disembark, in the castle itself to search for its most hidden secrets. Surely you have heard the word “Caledonian” Name given by the Romans to this middle area of the Scottish Highlands which they could not conquer given the fierceness with which its inhabitants the Celts Picts defended it and the climate of that time.

Scotland is incredible and only one of these two lakes contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, it is a movie country made up of some 790 islands and islets and it shows it.
