Urquhart Castle

Overlooking Loch Ness is this huge castle, Urquhart. There is not a lot of it left which is surprising since it was once one of the largest strongholds in Scotland. It was still really impressive though! The date of the castle is somewhat unknown since there are a few references as early as the 6th century. The later date which is positively right is 1296 since that is when Edward I captured it. What a history it has!
