尼斯湖旁的厄克特城堡，其实也是废墟，不过天气很好，残垣断壁配上蓝天绿地，倒是很有历史感。

The ancient castle of urqurt stands majestically in the center of Loch Ness in Scotland. It is one of the largest ancient castles in Scotland. This is one of the most important monuments in the highlands of Scotland. It's also the most difficult to name. It's Urquhart castle in English. It is said that the castle was built around 1600. The ruins we see now are mainly caused by the bombing of the defenders themselves in 1691 in order to prevent them from being occupied by the James. It is also said that under these relics is a fortress site in the 580's.

It's beautiful. See the broken castle. It's better to go on a sunny day. You can take many beautiful pictures. There's a brand inside that tells you the history of each part

Whether it's worth debating: at first, I thought I was going by boat, but as soon as the guide stopped, he could go as soon as he gave me a ticket. Of course, the castle itself was close to being destroyed (more like a model of a furniture factory).

A castle in ruins. But I prefer this place to Edinburgh tower of London. It has a sense of vicissitudes after wind and rain. Besides, the beautiful scenery around nice lake is picturesque. It's also good to be dazed by the ruins. Go up to some places to sell food, but the choices are few and not cheap. It is recommended to bring your own food.

On the way from Inverness to Stirling, the parking lot of the scenic spot is free and the scenic spot is charged. We only took a few photos of the castle in the parking lot and left. From a distance, we can see the remains of the castle.
