Explore the history of the loch and the many mysteries and explorations that have surrounded its past.

Using a highly effective mixture of animations, lasers and special effects, visitors can experience the history of the monster by exploring Scotland’s geological past and folklore.

New Year's Eve
Fort William lies along the banks of Loch Linnhe and is just a short distance from spectacular Glencoe and Rannoch Moor. Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulent history of the area will fascinate visitors.
