Loch Ness is worth a stop in your travels. Make sure you take one of the guide boats. It is a pleasant trip and educational as well.
Urquhart Castle is on the shore of Loch Ness and provides one of the best history presentations of any castle. You've probably have glimpsed the castle in one of the many Nessie "sighting" pictures or films.
Drumnadrochit is the nearby town and has two Nessie museums. A touristy rip off really but if you just want a laugh or two it is worth the visit. We found it educational but a bit lite.
One thing that will stand out in your journey of Scotland are the World War I memorials. Drumandrochit has one. We don't see many of them in the United States. After your visit you will appreciate the sacrifices made in Europe during the first Great War. It is unfathomable today that so many could lose their lives on a battlefield in one day.
