Urquhart castle was blown up in 1692 to prevent it becoming a Jacobite stronghold. It was gifted to The National Trust for Scotland.
It's simply amazing being able to see so much history in this castle. You will see a real catapult, a 'watch towere' which is 5 storeys high and is accessable through the original spiral staircase, draw bridges, rooms where the people who once lived here actually stayed keep your camera handy for some of the most magnificant views you have ever seen!!!!
