Drumnadrochit: Urquhart Castle
Description
Located on the banks of Loch Ness at its widest point this is one of the most scenic castles in the UK, or what's left of it. The Government supporting owner of the castle blew it to pieces shortly before the Jacobite's seized the area so that they would be unable to use it. The remains now offer a good view over the Loch
