10 more things to do at Loch Ness 11 to 20
Continuing the series of things to do at Loch Ness the next 11 things are deliberately vague in parts, it makes it more interesting for you to look for answers. When you do visit Loch Ness you will at least have some items on your list of questions for the locals who are always happy to tell of local legends, and places of interest in the area.

In 1827 a travelling preacher, Finlay Munro, was heckled by two young men, who called him a cheat and a liar.
