Scottish Grant Clan's Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness

Grants around the world can enjoy unique gifts that celebrate their ancient Scottish Clan Grant heritage and its history at Urquhart Castle, on the banks of Loch Ness in Scotland. Here Nessie, Nessie, Nessie. Does the famous “Nessie” lurk in the waters overlooked by Grant Tower of Urquhart Castle, former home of the Grant clan? Tourists hoping for a glimpse of the famed mysterious creature also tour the ancient grounds of this popular destination in northern Scotland just 13 miles, give or take, from the Highland capital of Inverness. The property was awarded to the Grant clan in 1509 and was often invaded by the Earls of Ross of the MacDonald clan. The current structure dates from the 13th to 16th centuries and once featured a drawbridge and ditch for defense. The property figured prominently in the Scottish Wars of Independence and the Jacobite uprisings. (Information for this paragraph was gleaned from a Wikipedia article.
