The lovely tourist village of Drumnadrochit is situated on the beautiful shores of Loch Ness directly on the Great Glen Way. Loch Ness is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK both for walkers and those Loch Ness monster hunters hoping for a glimpse of the loch Ness Monster. With its stunning views and untouched landscapes, this impressive stretch of water is 23 miles long and over 700 ft at its deepest, making it Scotland’s largest loch in terms of volume.
Drumnadrochit has shops, a primary and secondary school plus a wide range of welfare and social amenities. The village is well known as the home of Nessie and is also close to Urquhart Castle. Due to its strategic location on the North shore of Loch Ness, the village benefits from a high level of passing trade including those who transit to Skye.

Water sports and fishing are highly popular past times in the region, as are field sports. Inverness and Fort Augustus are within a 30 minute drive. Inverness itself is a vibrant and growing City and with such expansion comes many opportunities in both commerce and social activities. Such growth benefits established hospitality businesses and ensures a year-round trade.
