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.
