TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

Ok, the odds of you seeing the famous Loch Ness Monster while visiting Scotland are rather slim. But you can't miss touring the Highlands area and seeing the loch anyway. Besides the beauty of the region, there are a number of other sites to visit. Urquhart Castle is the most well-known spot around the loch, though the castle is mainly in ruins now.

You can do your Nessie watching right out on the water with a boat tour if you prefer. Driving and walking tours can be found for half-day trips or take the entire day.

It may not the all that exciting (unless you do see the monster), but it's a gorgeous place and there are many places to go walking and hiking around the loch.
