For our 2nd Scottish castle adventure, we stopped by Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness. Although it is now a ruin, it was one of Scotland's largest castles in its day. Unlike Craigmillar Castle, most of the structure has been lost and it is hard to determine what many of the rooms were actually used for because many of the loose stones were moved and consolidated in the early 20th century. (I'm going off of memory here - so please don't quote me on this.) The structure at the far left end of the castle in the picture below is a later addition built by the Grant family.
Here are some pictures of the castle grounds along with some views of Loch Ness. We were not fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Nessie this time. Hope you enjoy!
Love you & miss you!
Aubs, Luke & Luther
