Wild natural beauty and 1,000 years of history - Urquhart Castle offers a taste of the Highlands at their most dramatic.
Entrance to the visitor centre is by lift from the car park. The visitor centre contains retail, interpretation area, AV presentation and tearoom and toilets on one level. Visitors with disabilities are normally asked on arrival about any help they may need. Both motorised and manual wheelchairs are available at the visitor centre. Due to the steep gradients we recommend assistance for those using wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
