A stunning ancient site in Inverness. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. After watching the 10 minute film, the screen rises and opens up to the view of the castle. That was really cool.
At first I thought £16 was a bit much, but after viewing the 10min introduction film, a walk around the pictures and the castle itself, it was definitely worth it. Stunning view, nice gift shop and access to the lake. I'd definitely recommend to friends and family.
What a beautiful, breath taking place this was. It killed 2 birds in one stone, you can visit the castle and same time have a view/walk around of Loch Ness! We were so lucky that they day happened to be a nice sunny day - the setting, the colours of sky and the shadows on the Ness lake was simply amazing and picturesque. It is hard to put a review on this as some things you have to experience it yourself and this place is one of them!
Beautiful castle with stunning views over Loch Ness! The ruins are well preserved, and the short film at the visitor centre really brings the history to life. We went with kids and learned many things we wouldn’t have known if we hadn’t visited. Exploring the towers and walls was a highlight for everyone. We went on a weekday, and it was surprisingly less crowded. Highly recommend booking ahead and taking your time to enjoy the scenery and history!
On the shores of Loch Ness and the castle you see in all the photos and videos. Amazing location. You get to explore on your own. Takes about an hour to an hour and a half with the visitor shop 8 min vid. Worth seeing once for sure.
