Visit Scotland and visit Loch Ness and discover this famous large deep freshwater loch situated in the Scottish Highlands extending for some 37 kilometres or 23 miles situated to the southwest of Inverness attracting visitors from across the globe to stay choosing to accommodate in Hotels, Bed and Breakfast, Guest House and Self Catering accommodation.
The 'monster ' saga started in 1932, when a local man reported seeing a strange creature rising out of the loch; and the learned were quick to recall legends dating back to St Adamnan, Abbot of Iona in the 7th centuary who was said to have reported an aquatillis bestia in the loch.
There were more 'sightings' before the Second World War. but (perhaps because of the military activity in those parts) the creature apparently retired to its depths until after the war, where-after sightings became annual summer events. Miles of film were expended on it, correspondents and photographers did very well from avid newspapers, observation posts were set up, scientific expeditions moved in from Japan electronic gadgetry and even a submarine were brought in and scores of photographs and sworn statements were produced to prove that there was something unidentified in the loch, but Nessie as it is lovingly known remained elusive, until late in 1975 then a high-ranking team of American scientists announced that they had photographic evidence of a large, living animal or family of plesiosaurs in the loch. Sir Peter Scott of the World Wildlife Trust suggested that there were up to thirty and learned symposium was arranged in Edinburgh But Edinburgh, which has sponsored more major scientific and literary discoveries in the past 250 years than most cities, significantly changed its mind, and the symposium wits cancelled, the photographs were oddly elusive, the controversy raged, and questions were asked in the House of Commons about Nessie's 'protection '. Members were even given a private view of the photograh's although that was denied to the Press and 'she not withstanding an Act of Parliament is regarded as female was given a splendid name Nessiteras rhombopteryx meaning roughly Loch Ness marvel with diamond-shaped fin but an astute daily telegraph reader observed that this is an anagram for 'Monster hoax by Sir Peter S'. So there the question of Nessie rests, and each visitor must decide whether it is real or maybe just a wisp of Scotch mist.
The Great Glen offers a wonderful back drop for your bed and breakfast stay with the A82 providing the route North or South for you to discover.
The great glen slices across the highlands from loch Linnhe to the Moray firth with a series of fresh water lochs linked by stretches of the Caledonian canal, a total length of 60 miles, 38 miles of natural locks and 22 miles of man made water ways with 29 locks needed to deal with the varying levels of natural lochs one of the most spectacular being Neptune’s staircase at Banavie near fort William.
Loch Ness is the home of the loch Ness monster first sighting was by a monk in the 8th century. Today every body has an opinion, there are plenty of guided trips and expedition centres for you to make up your own mind.
The great glen is a vast centre of activities from out door sports both in the summer and the winter for every level of ability to the food and of course the whisky from the local distilleries here.
The pleasantly pastoral aspect with its forested sides and various settlements, lacks the rugged grandeur of some of the north western lochs. The narrow and 23 mile long loch has a maximum depth of 754ft. These dark waters are the home of the elusive Nessie. It was here that the racing motorist John Cobb (d 1952) lost his life in an attempt to beat the water speed record. A roadside memorial commemorates his attempt. The village of Foyers on the far side was the site of an aluminium smelter which closed in 1967. There are few glimpses of the loch prior to Drummadrochit due to the tree screen. Urquhart Castle. Fairly steep path and stairs down to the castle. The ruins are strategically set on a rocky promontory jutting forth into Loch Ness. The castle was one of a chain of strongholds garrisoning the Great Glen, a fact which gave it a turbulent history. Seen from the roadside the various parts are easy to distinguish.
