What is Urquhart Castle about?

Urquhart Castle, beside Loch Ness in Scotland's Great Glen, is an impressive ruin in a majestic setting. The rocky promontory was probably used in prehistoric times as a place of defence; it was almost certainly the residence of a Pictish nobleman in the 6th century AD. Throughout its 500-year history as a medieval fortress it was the scene of many battles and sieges. This fully illustrated booklet guides the visitor round the castle ruins and reveals Urquhart's stirring history as one of the largest and most important of all Scotland's castles.
