The reasons most people go to Loch Ness is to see Nessie the legendary monster, but as we have determined I am most definately not most people! I went to see Castle Urquhart. Pronunciation of this rather old Scottish name is "Urkut". The drive to get to the castle along the banks of the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness were one of the best in Scotland. By the way, the English pronounce loch as lock, the Scottish (and what I was informed correct) pronunciation is to make the "ch" on the end sound like you are clearing your throat! I certainly practiced it enough and that is the best way I know to described the sound. LOL
