I am going to Scotland next May, around the Inverness area, is there anything i should visit?

Question

i have never been to Scotland and will be driving up, and stopping every night somewhere different, my final destination is Inverness, what is interesting on the way?

Answer 1

You will be traveling along Loch Ness, where you can look for interesting creatures.  There is also a castle on the loch, which is open to tourists (for a fee).  Farther south, there is Loch Lomond; you can take a tour boat on the lake and stop for lunch at a hotel on the east side.  If you are interesting in standing stones, you can take the ferry to Lewis (about a 3-hour sail, and not cheap).

Answer 2

I would make a point of visiting Culloden Moor where the English and Scottish Clans duked it out resulting in a lot of dead Scots.  It's a key historical moment in Scottish history.  The small cottage on the site is supposedly the oldest standing "croft" in Scotland.
