Top things to do in Inverness, Scotland
"The main attraction in Inverness is a leisurely stroll along the river to the Ness Islands. Planted with mature Scots pine, fir, beech and sycamore, and linked to the river banks and each other by elegant Victorian footbridges, the islands make an appealing picnic spot. They're a 20-minute walk south of the castle – head upstream on either side of the river (the start of the Great Glen Way), and return on the opposite bank. "

5 Day Isle of Skye and Scottish Highlands Itinerary
"This is a stop for most tourists heading north, not because of the loch itself but because of the legendary Loch Ness Monster that is believed to inhabit the lake. The Loch Ness Monster, affectionately called Nessie, is believed to have been first reported in 1933 although some say reports date back to the 6th century. There are people who still look for Nessie including resident Loch Ness monster hunter, Steve Feltham, who has been keeping a watchful eye on the loch since 1991."
