First of all, the Scottish trip was so far the best of my life. Wonderfully wonderful. Seen in September 2010. Loch Ness with all the mysterious atmosphere around was an amazing landmark on our trip to Scotland. We stayed at a campsite in Lewiston and went for a walk to see the monster. When planning going to Scotland, you just... More

We came all the way from the Philippines and the tour of Scotland was one of best travels of my life. We took a 3-day tour of the highlands of Scotland and all I can say is that, cruising Loch Ness is worth every penny we paid for. The tour was about GBP20 if I remember correctly, for an hour...

Well, when in Scotland, you just have to go on a Nessie hunt. Very touristy, but beautiful area. The drive itself is worth it. Meandering roads through the highlands. THe Nessie Exhibition was very disappointing. Too expensive and we had already seen it in Edinburgh. Was sort of hoping that Nessie would show though ... More

Whilst visting Loch Ness, I came across the 5 star exhibition and decided to give it a try. My Partner and I parted with nearly 14 pound and walked into a darkened room. There was a video playing and usually I bypass these as I prefer to walk round and read things but decided to stay and watch what was... More

My friend and I went on this three day tour from Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye and had the best time ever! It was fairly fast-paced, but it had to be to fit everything in. Our tour guide/driver was excellent - really knew his history, and the stories he told were both informative and highly entertaining. The scenery was... More

Went to the Exhibition Centre at Drumnadrochit March 2012 and found it to be thought provoking. Exhibition content/exhibits could be updated to reflect current times but overall very interesting. Thought they could put more seats in some of the zones, bearing in mind people who have disability or trouble standing for a while. Didn't see Nessie though. :-) More

When you visit Loch Ness Centre is a must. The history of the lake is all centred in different rooms. It really explains all the myths. Is there a monster or not?? More
