We visited Urquhart Castle in September 2009.We visited the visitor centre and watched a movie about the history of the castle which was very interesting. Urquhart Castle is extremely picturesque, it is set on the banks of Loch Ness .and a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Dont forget your camera. ps. If your lucky you might catch sight of Nessie tje... more

As my title indicates, this was a very nice place to stop along Loch Ness and stretch our legs and take a couple photos. I posted my photos and a narrative on my travel blog at: http://adams-travel-blog.blogspot.com/2009/07/scotland-day-1.html It was definitely a nice stop, but I'm not sure going into the castle is necessary. It really just adds to the scenery... more

Here is what sadly so many tourists don't know: there are much better castle ruins than Urquhart in Scotland. I think what happens is that because it is on Loch Ness many people go and pay the 7 pounds. Historic Scotland also have built a big facility at the site like they have done at Edinburgh and Stirling Castles. The... more

Pictures taken from carpark above ruins, the views from here were amazing for both the Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness, did'nt have time to visit Castle ruins this trip but would love to come back again soon and spend more time here. Make sure you have comfy footwear and a Camera handy. Mrs Evans from Pontllanfraith, Gwent South Wales more

It's well worth a visit although the entry fee of £6.50 seems a bit steep. Maybe £4 would have been... more

Hello, there! we went to Urquhart Castle last weekend. The views of the castle from the loch (by boat) are magnificent although the ticket £6.50 is overpriced because you are not going to see much more of the ruins from inside, and here it goes my COMPLAINT : INFORMATION AND COSTUMER SERVICE is simply AWFUL. When we bought the tickets... more

This is why they say learning can be fun.This old castle along the river Ness is well worth the stop the kids will have a good time climbing all over the castle and so will you. Not counting the beautiful view you have of Loch Ness, the history, video presentation and the museum are a learning experience everyone can enjoy. more

Urquhart Castle has a vast history dating back to the 1230, though some think it may have been around in 597! The castle is a ruin now, but it is a sight to see, several notable people were there such as William of Orange and King William the Lion. It is situated right on Loch Ness and has a great... more

Worth a visit if you are in the area, for sure. First watch the film - the ending is great! Make sure you buy the guidebook, as you will need it while you walk about. Very interesting! more
