Places to visit

The Cnoc Hotel's fine, centralised location makes it an ideal and pleasant base for touring the Highlands of Scotland.

Some of the local highlights for visitors are Loch Ness with Urquhart Castle and its famous monster, and the local glens Affric, Strathfarrar and Cannich being particularly beautiful. On a visit to the Black Isle, do not forget to go to Chanonry Point near Fortrose, where you could be lucky in seeing the resident bottle-nose dolphin population.

Travelling further afield you will find the Isle of Skye, the Castle of Mey, Inverewe Gardens, Eilean Donan Castle, amongst many other gems.

The scenery in the Highlands is stunning, so spend some time exploring the countryside.

There are Highland Games throughout the summer at various venues.
