Local activities in the area include sites of historical importance to explore, as well as art gallerys, craft shops, visitor centres, garden walks, and heritige trails.
For the more active visitor there are a wide range of activities available round Loch Ness ranging from canoeing & sailing, to pony trecking on the hills overlooking the loch. The most popular activities are walking and cycling, both of which are well catered for.
Wildlife
Think Scotland and wildlife and you immediately conjure up images of majestic stags, soaring Golden Eagles and that king of fish, the salmon. That's just the tip of the antler though as Scotland's biodiversity goes. For, in fact, Scotland is home to no less than 90,000 species, 30 of which you won't find anywhere else,
So what have wildlife enthusiasts got to look forward to, apart from the stunning setting? It's not uncommon to see Red squirrels, otters, badgers, pine martins, foxes, red deer, roe deer & sika deer. In the air there are buzzards, kites & owls along with a plethora of other birds. Nearby in Inverness and the Highland capital's Kessock Bridge is a well-known vantage point for dolphin spotting.
