Our next stop in Scotland is Inverness, the largest city and cultural capital of the Highlands. The name Inverness comes from the Gaelic word meaning mouth of the River Ness and is a key part of the city for anyone wanting to learn more about Scottish history. Here you will find Inverness Castle, Fort George and the Clava Cairns, stone circles dating back 4,000 years. From Inverness we head south to Urquhart Castle, just a 35-minute drive away. It is located on the shores of Loch Ness, where Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, lives. The castle was built in the 13th century and was very important during the struggle for Scottish independence when it came under the control of Robert the Bruce, after he became King of Scots in 1306. The castle was sacked several times by the ambitious Lords of the Isles and damaged several times until it was destroyed by the owner himself during the Jacobite revolution in the 18th century. The English Crown deceived the owner by saying that they would pay for the damages if he blew up the castle, but the owner never saw the money.
