Nessie, the legendary monster, ensures that Loch Ness is the most famous of all Scotland's lochs; at twenty three miles long it is the second largest lake in Britain by area. Its great depth, however, means it holds several times more water than its nearest rival, Loch Lomond. Loch Ness walks include many shorter and beautiful woodland walks. To the north of the loch, magnificent pinewood-clad Glen Affric is perhaps Scotland's most beautiful glen. This is a wonderful area of the Highlands for walkers, having the highest mountains north of the Great Glen but also some splendid lower level and forest walks.
The site also includes the area around Inverness, and the fertile Black Isle and Dingwall to its north.
Our routes cover everything from short family rambles, through cross-country hikes to ascents of mighty Munro summits. We also have an extensive accommodation directory, including hotels, self catering cottages, and hostels, as well as an online shop for Loch Ness and Affric books and maps.
