Urquhart Castle

Description

The present ruins of Urquhart Castle stem from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries but there are traces of a Medieval fortification on the site stemming from the seventh century. The castle is one of the largest in area in Scotland. It has belonged to many different clans but most notably belonged to the Grants and was under siege by Jacobites following the 1688 Revolution. The tour starts with a view over that castle and has arrows that are used to navigate through the landscape. The tour can be viewed in Virtual Reality. Accessibility note: The visitor centre is fully accessible and there is a photographic guide for those who have mobility issues. Disability buggies are available on request and accessible parking spots.
