St Andrew's Cathedral was built in the middle of the 19th century. Nowadays this is one the most famous religious sites in Inverness. The cathedral stores antique gold icons - a gift of Russian Emperor. A large number of pilgrims and curious travelers come there to admire the beautiful church and see the sacred artifacts. Among the museums of the city the most important one is definitely Loch Ness Museum that is located in the suburban area of Inverness. Among the exhibits of the museum visitors will see a collection of photos, newspaper notes and recordings of witnesses who were able to see Nessie - a mysterious creature that lives in Loch Ness. The museum is located in a beautiful historic building, which is also of a big cultural value.
Loch Ness Lake itself remains one of major attractions of the region. Tourists are welcome to make a walk along the beach and enjoy the beauty of the local nature. Do not forget to take your camera or camcorder just in case the mysterious inhabitant of the lake decides to greet guests. Excursions to Strathisla factory, which is located in the small town of Keith near Inverness, are very popular among tourists. This is the place where the famous whiskey, which is so popular with tourists from different parts of the world, is produced. The plant was opened in 1786 and is considered the oldest one in the country. Its look resembles a massive mansion with elegant turrets. Guests are invited to make a tour to the factory, which is ended by a visit to the tasting room. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
