Plan a trip to Loch Ness from Edinburgh

29th May 2024

Located in the old Drumnadrochit Hotel, the imposing location where Mrs Aldie MacKay reported seeing a ‘whale-like fish’ or ‘water beast’ in the waters of Loch Ness. The sighting resulted in the birth of a monster media frenzy and created a global legend. At The Loch Ness Centre, you’ll take an immersive walk through 500 million years of history, uncover hidden secrets and delve into scientific research inspired by the elusive Loch Ness Monster. Spoiler…you can even spot some of our Real Mary King’s Close tour guides participating in the recreation scene of the first visible sighting.
