1. Urquhart Castle, perched on the shores of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, is a historic fortress that dates back to the 13th century, with its origins possibly stretching to early medieval times. It played a significant role in the Wars of Scottish Independence, changing hands between the Scots and English, and later served as a strategic stronghold against Highland clans. The castle witnessed numerous battles and sieges, enduring destruction and reconstruction over the centuries. By the 17th century, it was partially dismantled to prevent it from being used by Jacobite forces. Today, the picturesque ruins of Urquhart Castle are a popular tourist destination, offering stunning views of Loch Ness and a glimpse into Scotland's tumultuous past.

About Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, a Victorian port on the Clyde with galleries, live music and red-sandstone terraces, and Loch Lomond close by.

Glasgow grew on the River Clyde through shipbuilding, tobacco and trade, and its Victorian wealth shows in the red sandstone of its terraces, museums and merchant halls. The medieval cathedral, which survived the Reformation intact, stands beside the Necropolis, a hill of Victorian tombs. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a red-stone palace, holds Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross and a Spitfire hanging in its hall.
