On the banks of Loch Ness is Urquhart Castle.
The castle was very beautiful. It had been destroyed by the Jacobites to assure that the enemy could not take a stronghold.

Loch Ness
Loch Ness is a pretty lake. A lake. I had a boat ride on it yesterday and a chilly one at that. Later, a visit to the Loch Ness Exhibit Centre, did the 50-50 evaluation about real or made up. Actually, I preferred thinking of it in mystery terms from afar. My take away? The loch is 23 miles long, about two miles wide and at places over 750 feet deep. And it is stunningly beautiful.
The castle was very beautiful. It had been destroyed by the Jacobites to assure that the enemy could not take a stronghold.
