Urquhart Castle stands on the south side of Inverness and on the cliff on the shore of Lake Ness. It is condescending and surrounded by water on three sides. It was once a military fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and one of the important ancient relics in the Scottish Highlands. Now it leaves the world with only some ruins. It is said that in 1691, the castle defenders were defeated and blew up by themselves in order to prevent the castle from being occupied by the enemy. Urquhart Castle covers a large area. The castle you can see now was built by Alan Durter in the 13th century. The main tower exposed because of the collapse shows the internal structure of the castle like an anatomical sample. Because it is located in the fortress of Goron Canyon, the military position is very important.
