The Loch Ness Centre
A Loch Ness-themed exhibition in Drumnadrochit that tells the story of the monster legend and decades of scientific searches.
The Loch Ness Centre, in the village of Drumnadrochit on the western shore of Loch Ness, was renovated in 2023. Its immersive multimedia galleries tell the story of the lake's glacial geology, the monster sightings since 1933, sonar search operations, and historical records such as the “Great Loch Ness Hunt.” The exhibition takes about an hour; admission is about £15, and combined tickets with boat trips are also available. The village has other shops, including the Loch Ness Monster Experience. The Loch Ness Centre is about 3 km from Urquhart Castle.
