Strathpeffer to Inverness to Urquhart Castle to Loch Ness, to Sheepdogs Demo-Scottish Isles and Glens
Urquhart Castle, Inverness Scotland After a decent night's sleep at the Highland Hotel in Strathpeffer, we're up and heading to Inverness. Fans of the STARZ TV show Outlander , know all about Inverness. Jay and I did Gordon's Taxi Outlander Tour back in 2015 and visited many of the TV shows locations. But today we're just doing a drive through. No visit to Culloden for us this trip. We're traveling south through the West Highlands to Loch Ness . We also won't be stopping at the Loch Ness Centre -an exhibition/visitor center about Nessie and the loch. But we are visiting Urquhart Castle -we previously just did a quick photo stop looking down on the castle. The present ruins date from the 13th to the 16th centuries, though built on the site of an early medieval fortification. The first documentary record of Urquhart Castle occurs in 1296 when it was captured by Edward I of England. Edward's invasion marked the beginning of the Wars of Scottish Independence...
