Urquhart Castle with a view on Loch Ness. To prevent the enemy schould to get hold of the castle at that time, it was burnt down to the ground. This is all what has been left. I find Loch Ness one of the most beautiful places of the Scottish Highlands. Many people believe in the existence of Nessie, the prehistoric monster of the Loch. The Loch is very deep and it it is hard to imagine the extent of it. Scientists all over the world are still puzzled by the deepscans made of the loch. From Inverness a ferry is crossing Loch Ness several times a day. Oil painting. Ariane Fine Art.
