Enrick House

Enrick House is located in the picturesque village of Drumnadrochit by Loch Ness. The loch is shrouded in mystery with tales of its large monster living deep beneath its waters since the first photograph emerged in 1933. With over one thousand witness accounts and unexplained evidence, scientists continue to be baffled by the existence of Nessie. You can take a Nessie cruise from Drumnadrochit to look for yourselves.

Lying near the west shore of Loch Ness at the foot of Glen Urquhart, Drumnadrochit is delightful. The village sits close to the villages of Milton, Kilmore, and Lewiston. It is an area of great natural beauty and magnificent scenery. Drumnadrochit’s Loch Ness Centre walks you through five hundred years of Loch Ness history. You will delve deeper into places, people, stories, and scientific research that have turned Nessie into an iconic Scottish legend.

The magnificent Urquhart Castle, on the shore of the loch, was once one of Scotland’s largest castles. It saw great conflict during its five hundred years as a medieval fortress. Control of the castle passed backwards and forwards between the Scots and English during the Wars of Independence. The last of the troops during the Jacobite Risings blew the castle up when they left, and Urquhart’s ruins remain. You will remember a visit to Urquhart Castle for a very long time. Sitting on its rocky promontory, it is stunning. You can take in the Grant Tower, imagine splendid banquets in the Great Hall and peer into the gloomy prison cell.

The City of Inverness is only fourteen miles away. It is known as the ‘Capital of the Highlands’ and boasts a great selection of museums, a theatre, leisure facilities, shops, pubs, and restaurants. You can visit the Ness Islands, a group of islands in the middle of the River Ness which are connected by Victorian suspension bridges. It is lovely on a sunny day to wander along the quiet riverside paths that surround the Ness Islands.

Fort Augustus is located on the southern tip of Loch Ness on the Great Glen Way. It is loved by tourists for its panoramic scenic views and serene atmosphere. The Caledonian Canal is sixty miles long, sitting between Inverness and Fort William. Fort Augustus is home to a fascinating Heritage Centre that gives an insight to the canal and the people that have lived there for many centuries. Fort Augustus’ Clog and Craft Shop is a wonderful gift shop selling handmade clogs, leather products and keepsakes. Its Iceberg Glassblowing Studio offers a stunning range of contemporary glass artwork.

Close to Fort Augustus is the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’ Fort William which has easy access to Glencoe, The Mamores and Glen Sheil. You are spoilt for options of land and water sports including canyoning, coasteering, white water rafting and paintballing.
