Sample fresh seafood caught in the surrounding waters, or try a dram of whisky from one of the local distilleries.

Loch Ness continues to enjoy worldwide recognition even though its most famous resident has been extremely camera-shy in recent years. The north of Scotland is divided from coast to coast by the Great Glen, a geological fault line which has been further eroded by successive ice ages. Loch Ness occupies roughly half of this Great Glen filling a stretch 23 miles / 37km long and nearly 2 miles / 3km wide with up to 750ft / 230m of cold dark water.

The Loch Ness 360 cycle route follows quiet country roads and off-road trails by the shore of Loch Ness and into the hills and forests that rise above it. It is not a technically challenging route, but it is hilly, and baggage transfer will make for a much more enjoyable trip. A mountain bike is essential.
