Family enjoys luxury stay at historic Scottish fort
A family recently visited a historic fort on the shores of Loch Ness, famous for the legend of the Loch Ness monster. Their stay was at The Highland Club in Fort Augustus, which offers stunning views of the lake. The two young boys, aged 9 and 5, were excited about the possibility of seeing "Nessie." The Highland Club is a former abbey turned into apartments and cottages. It is set on 23 acres of land and has been carefully restored. Families can enjoy a luxury experience at a lower cost, with options for self-catering accommodations. The family's apartment featured beautiful stained glass windows and a rooftop terrace with expansive views of Loch Ness. During their stay, guests can access amenities like an indoor pool, steam room, and various sports facilities. One rainy day, the family used a sports simulator room to enjoy virtual games. They also explored Loch Ness with a boat ride that shared information about the area's mysterious legends. They visited nearby sites like Nessieland, which delighted the children with its interactive exhibits. They also checked out Urquhart Castle, a popular tourist spot. The family found that visiting during low season meant that some shops and restaurants were closed, but they managed to cook meals in their apartment. Overall, the trip to Loch Ness was filled with adventure and the enchanting atmosphere of The Highland Club, creating special memories for the family.
