Drumnadrochit

Drumnadrochit (/drʌmnəˈdrɒxɪt/; Scottish Gaelic: Druim na Drochaid) is a village in the Highland local government council area of Scotland, lying near the west shore of Loch Ness at the foot of Glen Urquhart.

The villages act as a centre for regional tourism beside Loch Ness, as well as being a local economic hub for the nearby communities.

[7] In 2006, the village hall, originally funded by Bradley Martin of Balmacaan House, celebrated its centenary.

The estate was rented to the wealthy American industrialist and local benefactor Bradley Martin in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and flourished in the 1880s and 1890s, but went into decline after the 1920s.

Drumnadrochit is served by the local Glen Urquhart High School which is also home to the community library.

There is a doctor's surgery under NHS Scotland and a team of local Community First Responders who cover nights and weekends in serious emergencies.

The Loch Ness Hub is a community owned transport and visitor information centre.

Attractions include the nearby Urquhart Castle, one of the most visited sites managed by Historic Scotland, and Nessieland, and a "Nessie" themed exhibition about the Loch Ness Monster, the Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition for those wanting a more serious interpretation.

Cobbs is also the largest employer in the village, running the Drumnadrochit Hotel and the Clansman Visitor Centre, and recently bought the Loch Ness Beer brand after the Brewery went into administration in 2016.

In Lawrence Block's novel The Burglar in the Library, there is a fictional scotch enjoyed by Bernie called Glen Drumnadrochit.
