Tour Schedule
Please note that the sequence and length of the stops can change if the weather is unfavourable. I try to keep you dry if possible, but it is Scotland!
We begin with a Loch Ness Photo Opportunity – Watch a Beastie whisperer call the Loch Ness Monster out for a wee £1M photograph.
I’ll tell you about the geological event of how the loch was created and how the beasties survived all this time, of scientists and enthusiasts who are still searching for Nessie. Also, a raft of other facts and legends including an introduction to the Legends of the Fae.
We will stop for a short walk down to the shores of Loch Ness, take some photos of the fantastic scenery and maybe even catch the monster hunting its breakfast.
Onwards to Urquhart Castle, on the shore of Loch Ness. Admire the military or financial setting of the castle, on a rocky promontory with an open outlook up and down Loch Ness which was the only way to travel when the castle was built.
Who fought over its ownership? Who destroyed it? (please note this is a viewpoint visit not a walk round the ruin which would eat up our time and incur entrance costs.)
On to the wee village of Invermoriston, its connection to fairy folklore and the home of the chief of Clan Grant.
Down to Fort Augustus to see the canal locks, the south end of Loch Ness and have lunch.
Returning on the South side we visit the impressive Foyers Falls and Boleskine House, owned in the early 20th century by the occultist Alister Crowley, and in the 1970s by Led Zeppelin guitarist, Jimmy Page.
Our last call is at the site of a pictish or druid castle on Drumashie Moor, where a Fairy or Alien or possibly Viking battle took place and where people throng to see strange events occur in the misty dawn during the Beltane festival in the first week in May every year!
