Gorthleck is a small hamlet
on the North shore of Loch Mhor in
Inverness-shire (South side of Loch Ness)
It was rumoured that Bonny
Prince Charlie stayed in Gorthleck House after
the battle of Culloden and had to flee after
seeing the Redcoats from an upstairs window!
Gorthleck is ideally situated
for a holiday packed with activities and
interest. Inverness, the capital of the
Highlands, is only 20 miles away, reached by a
variety of very scenic routes.
The roads on this side of Loch Ness are arguably
superior to the main road on the other side, as
more peaceful and far less touristy. In any case
it would be then easy to do the complete loop
and return to Inverness via Fort Augustus along
the main road, to visit Urquhart Castle and all
the " monster attractions" in Drumnadrochit. |
Loch Ness is just down the
road and you would be forgiven for wanting to do
the...touristy thing and go there to try and
meet Nessie...
Loch Mhor is just a mile from
us and is spectacularly pretty with wonderful
colours especially in Autumn.
Bird watchers can enjoy
visiting the important
Loch Ruthven Nature
Reserve, near here |
