Best known as the home of the Loch Ness monster, lovingly called Nessie, Loch Ness is a large freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands. Since the early 1900s, the loch has drawn visitors from all over the world, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mythological creature.
Visitors can go on one of the many boat cruises available, giving them an opportunity to spot the monster themselves as well as learn about its history. Visitors who aren't interested in the Loch Ness monster might enjoy spending their time participating in active sports such as kayaking, mountain climbing, or hiking.
