high summer at south Loch NessWelcome to South Loch Ness, Scotland, a world class tourism destination and an area of great diversity and outstanding natural beauty that covers an area from Inverness in the north, and follows the entire length of the wild and rugged south eastern shoreline of Loch Ness all the way to Fort Augustus in the south, and eastwards to Daviot through fertile farmland and the scattered communities in Strathnairn.

The area has been referred to as the Scottish "Lake District" so numerous are the Lochs in this part of the Highlands. An undiscovered, unspoilt land of craggy hills, lochs, tumbling waters and heather moors will delight and inspire all who value true wilderness, yet so close the Highland capital city of Inverness.
