Loch Ness Cruise + Fort Augustus Locks - Scottish Highlands
ฝัง

- Don't go to the Scottish Highlands without taking a Loch Ness Cruise!
We had an unforgettable Loch Ness Cruise with Jacobite, taking in Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal on a 2-hour sightseeing cruise that stops at Urquhart Castle halfway through. Find out about the history of the canal and facts on Loch Ness during this fascinating cruise. Then head down to Fort Augustus for a visit to the famous locks that link the Caledonian Canal to Loch Ness through 5 gates and a swing bridge. Grab a pint at one of the pubs and watch the boats navigating the locks. It's such great fun.
To book a 2-hour cruise use this website www.jacobite.co.uk/
For a shorter 50 minute ride from Fort Augustus try this one www.cruiselochness.com/
If you enjoyed the video and would like to help us bring you more inspiring videos, you can consider buying us a coffee: ko-fi.com/memoryseekers We would be truly grateful.

Increadible and enchanting beauty!!!
And I can't help but smile when I see your faces.
😊😀
Beautiful Scotland...been twice and can't wait to go back!
Been once (in 2019) and hope that I'll have enouhg time (I'm 65) to go back once again! In love with Scotland forever . . .
@@neighborhoodlilian I'm 66 and I plan to go back : )
@@terp8373 Wonderful! Enjoy!
the heath on the hillsides is amazing.
Stopped at Fort William got bus to The castle Well worth the entrance fee...Smashing 😁😁👍👍👍👍
Excellent, glad you had a good time.
Back in 1964, I went to the World's Fair in NYC. While there, there was a booth where you could request a penpal from all over the world. I ended up with a penpal from Fort Augustus, Scotland! It was a wonderful friendship. Unfortunately, we lost touch decades ago.
Thanks for this video. At least now I know where she lived.
What a lovely story, such a shame you are no longer in contact. Glad you enjoyed looking around Fort Augustus on our little tour. It’s a very cute place.
Another fantastic movie!
You see everything in a different way now, compliments.
Thank you!
I would like to go here. You got such great pictures: video angles and places.
So Nessie did not show up ! Thanks for the beautiful videos. I subscribed and now am going through them all. Nice and peaceful scenery and I love your accent. So good to hear Queen's English after years of American slang. (I am originally from Belgium and Queen's English was what we learned in school)
Thank you for joining us, hope you like the others in the series we had a wonderful time.
I’d move there in a heart beat. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this most interesting and educational video! I always knew that Loch Ness was a good sized lake, but not that big, or deep!!!!!! Scotland can be very beautiful in certain places!
Great ride I enjoyed the historical history you gave. Can't wait to see more tomorrow have a great day 😀
☺
Lovely boat trip with awesome scenery...only missing highlight was Nessie !!!.....Keep safe
Yes if we had seen Nessie we would be famous now haha!
Amazing views at Loch Ness...thanks for a beautiful vedio.😍
Thank you for watching.
I can't reached home for i'm a flipper could only here dear cathy..myself the excalibur needed for the whole of my altitude 8000ers with pa at hometown here avoiding them..well,hopefully you'll make that sound of silience again today to have my boy back with me for the better..love daddy#
Once again absolutely stunningly beautiful! I can't imagine waking up in such a beautiful place being surrounded by such beauty ❤️🙏so peaceful ❤️❤️❤️
Wait till we get to Skye and you see our view to wake up to there! It was out of this world! Thanks for watching Tiffany.
Just found your video's. When you were approaching the Canal on your return at what is Lochend, on the right is Dores and just above that is the MacBean Memorial Park. This is the area of my ancestors. It is a special place for me and my family.
Thoroughly enjoying your video's.
How lovely that you have ancestors in these parts so pleased we were able to catch it in the video. Thank you for watching.
That was gorgeous, the scenery is breathtaking. Made me chuckle the difference between pronouncing it Lock and Loch, I had a teacher throw a duster at me for pronouncing it incorrectly when I was young. Thank you for another great video ❤️❤️
I still get it wrong, its hardwired as Lock for me. I am terrible with pronunciation We get a lot of comments when we get it wrong haha.
Watching your beautiful and relaxing videos is how I destress at the end of the day. Thank you!
That is nice to hear glad you feel that way! 😊
Been to loch Ness nothing seen, nice scenery. Wild goose chase.
Love your choices of background music!
Thank you!
Scottland is really awesome 👍🏻 great video my friend 👏
It really is! greetings from London!👍
This place is quite interesting & looks more pleasant...extremely eye catching views & incredible beauty of long ages, absolutely enjoyed your video 👍👍👍 & thank u for exploring all wonderful places
The scenery is stunning, always wanted to visit Loch Ness and so glad we did!
@@MemorySeekers and thanks for sharing
Enjoyed your video. Coming to Scotland soon...end of March 2023 for a couple of weeks. We have the Loch Ness boat tour already booked....looks amazing!
Do you mean end of April? Hope you have an amazing trip.
I am in Istanbul but my eyes can see Scotland and Loch Ness. Thank you. Very mysterious.
Greetings to you in Istanbul, somewhere we should have been traveling to next weekend. Alas covid has stopped that! Glad you liked the video.
@@MemorySeekers Get well soon.
Very nice
I don't care how they say it, I'll say it without swallowing my tongue thank you very much!
😂👍
Great video as always guys, and another destination to add to my list! 😍
I hope you are now able to start ticking off some of your bucket list items Craig?
@@MemorySeekers Yes, went to Ironbridge and Blists Hill Victorian Town last week. Your recommendations did not disappoint! :-)
Oh great to hear! Glad u enjoyed it. Love Ironbridge
We really enjoy your videos! You guys are very professional and informative. We have been to Scotland but only in the South. The highlands are beautiful and the sky is so blue. Want to go now. Keep up the good work. Cheers Ron
We had some pretty grey days as well, you will see this in the next two videos. Least it didn't rain to much! When we get to the Isle of Skye then it does pick up with beautiful blue skies and puffy white clouds. Glad you are enjoying the series.
Never seen anything. Non events. But coffee is good at Inverness.
As always the information you provide gives meaning and warmth to this cold scenery
Thank you very much!
Ich danke Euch 🙏für diese wunderschöne Reise, ich habe jede Minute genossen🥰der beeindruckende See, leider ohne Nessie 🐍🤣🤣war trotzdem spektakulär. Freue mich schon auf euer nächstes Video, Scottland 🏴ist einfach grandios, es gibt wohl nichts vergleichbares👍
Ich wünschte, wir hätten Nessie gesehen, wir wären berühmt gewesen! War eine tolle Möglichkeit ein paar Stunden zu verbringen.
Hi guys MemorySeekers , I'm so glad that your channel pops up yesterday when I'm about to go this weekend with some friends for our NC500 escapades.
I just love all the info and details you provided.
You both are brilliant.
I am a BIG FAN
Hello, so glad you found us! We would love to do the NC500, very jealous. A bucket list trip still to properly do. Our trip to the west highlands really gave us a taste for it. Glad we have been a pleasure to help with info etc! Have a wonderful trip and stay safe on those roads!! 👍😊 Thanks for watching Si and Will
Thank you. Loved this. Was there in 1988 and visited the Benedictine Abbey which had a school attached as well as a remarkably interesting Scottish history section within the Abbey itself. I still have beautiful leather bookmarks bought there. No loch tours in 1988! Sad to hear that the whole place was “abandoned” a year later. Your presentation is a delight - thank you again.
It looks a very impressive place and what a location! You were very lucky to visit! Thank you for sharing your memories and watching our videos!. All the best.
Unfortunately lots of child abuse went on there, it was a school for boys. Humans eh.
Picturesque scenery and calm. Background music is great. Thank you for bringing us to Loch Ness!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Like the way you both use the music and narrations so professionally. So nice to enjoy seeing the images, some do use the written word which means you can miss things trying to read what's on the screen.
Keep up the good works guys always a pleasure to view.
Hi Stuart, thank you for your kind words glad you are enjoying our presentations.
I love watching this type of videos. I feel like I'm in a vacation or adventures. This place is amazing my friend thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed
You guys did it again. Presented an area I have known about for years but brought a whole new dimension to it with lots of information and great video. I had no idea that Lock Ness was so huge. I also didn’t realize what an absolutely beautiful place it is. I’m going to put it on my travel list with all the extras you mentioned about it. Thank you again for another great vlog.
Thanks for the lovely comment and for adding it to your bucket list. Well worth the trip! ☺👍
Just beautiful. I could cool down while watching this video as Tokyo is still too~~~hot.
Haha, there aren’t many days when Loch Ness gets hot!
Thanks for the upload stunning views a wee bit cold for my likening but can always go inside the boat . No sign of the Loch Ness monster but what a great story to get millions of people interested and keep the tourist industry buzzing. Quite canny those Scots .
On the way back and a change of wind direction it was quite pleasant on the boat. If we had seen the monster our channel would have gone viral! 😂
Stunning, friendly Scotland.
It really is!
Tolles Video! Vielen Dank dafür
Awesome.
Thank you for your incredibly well made videos on Scotland. We are planning a trip and your hard work will make our visit so much better. Great work!
Thank you Sandy, glad you liked them and they may help you with your trip. Hope you have a wonderful visit as we did.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing these beautiful videos! I can't wait for the next one!
Greetings from Rome ☺️
Our pleasure, thank you for watching Claudia
such delightful little cottages.
Yes very pretty.
Gosh, it was a bit choppy, but the video shows it well worth it, with stunning views.
It was too bad in the end Andy. The boat cut through it ok. Just a bit chilly on the way out before the sun finally popped out.
AYE she's a Bonny country.
Took the Loch Ness Cruise ride from Fort Augustus last year. Beautiful town and friendly people. Thank you for sharing this.
Lovely part of Scotland
Thanks for the ride! I froze out a little bit 😂 but enjoyed every minute of the trip! Looking forward to the next one! 😍😍😍
You do need to wrap up warm on the Loch! 😊
Been to Scotland twice. Miss it a lot. Wish I could have an extended stay there.
This was our first time in the Highlands, and we would love to go back and explore more. We only saw the west really on this trip.
So fun to watch!
Thank you
delicious fresh water.
Yes it is fresh water Loch, and its pretty clean but with all the boats going up and down not sure I would be drinking it.
Un vlog , de calatorie , foarte frumos !
Este canal es único y maravilloso. Sigan así. 👏❤
¡Qué bonitas gracias por decir eso!
Nice Scotland,I want to see you
Next week we are in Glencoe, stunning scenery.
Спасибо красивое место. 👍
Bellissimo video grazie per la visione 😘
Bellissimo video grazie per la visione
Had a trip on Loch Ness long time ago I dont believe in the Monster enjoyed your video there of a high standard
So nice to hear you have been. I don't think there is a monster either but a nice tale!
I love your video very much. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@MemorySeekers You are very welcome.
So Beautiful And Green, ♥️♥️
It sure is Francine
Очень красивая Шотландия!!!!! Спасибо большое!!!!
Рад что вам понравилось!
Sehr schön! :-)
Danke !
Hi there you guys. I am smitten by your video i just watched and you left me wanting more..!
At the end of this video you mentioned where you were going next but I have not been able to find the follow on video to this one.
Finally, you mentioned that you drove around.
Did you rent a car, if so, was it in Scotland or from England.
Thanks you in advance of any info you can share, we intend to take a trip to the same area in this video and your series seems to be the most appetizing we’ve watched to date.
wir waren schon dreimal in fort augustus. das letzte mal 1988. damals war der ort noch viel beschaulicher.
Es ist sicherlich ein Ort, an den wir zurückkehren würden, wenn wir wieder in Schottland landen. Schöner Zwischenstopp, um die Boote zu beobachten.
❤❤❤
FFS, how many ad breaks for a 14 minute video!! Excellent video by the way👍😊
I forgot to check this before making live this week. We usually have them around every 5 mins which we think is fair. ( this is our only way to make a small amount to help pay for time and expenses)
TH-cam by default makes the ads about every 3 so I go and change them. I forgot this time and so you get 4 ads in the 14 mins and it should have been 3.
@@MemorySeekers Ahh ok, thanks for your response, makes sense now.👍
such beautiful waterfalls. my partner went there as a lad.
Lots more waterfalls in the next one! hundreds!!
❤👍
⚘⚘
Love your videos! In which month were you there to get such good weather?
Thank you! It was June last year we were so lucky!
@@MemorySeekers Traveling this September, your videos are really helpful so thank you so much! and I hope to get as good of a weather as you guys had!
@@44hilla44 Have a wonderful time!
Thank you for this video
U make me feel colder Cruz the weather in Iraq is too hot !
It was quite cold out on that boat!
🌷🌷
Hi there, new subscriber, where did the cruise depart from? I understand you can get a beer on the cruise? How much does it cost and how long does it take? I'm sure you said it stops at the castle, is that right? We are staying in fort Augustus in October for 4 days and are trying to get some tips. Thanks.
Hi Aaron the cruise started here goo.gl/maps/emDqZKeTzypGDKoo8 We also stayed in Fort Augustus and drove up to make the 9.30 boat trip. It's two and a half hours and runs to the castle but does not stop at the castle, gets you close cruising by the castle. I am afraid I don't know if they serve beer on board or the price. Hope that helps have fun!
@@MemorySeekers thank you so much, we're really enjoying your videos👍
Anything on Clan Campbell...Taymouth Castle?
Afraid not
Is that 2 hour Jacobits cruise start from St Agustus?
www.jacobite.co.uk/tours Here is all the info but it starts from the Inverness side of the Loch.
👍✨👍✨👍✨💖
😊
🙋👍 Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
Pozdrowienia z Londynu!
@@MemorySeekers Dzięki.
ME GUSTARÍA QUE PONGAN SUBTÍTULO EN ESPAÑOL PARA PODER ENTENDER LO QUE DÍCEN, PORQUE ME PARECE MUY INTERESANTE :)
Hola, todos nuestros videos tienen subtítulos en español y acabo de ver este video y ya están configurados. Espero que puedas encontrarlos. Traducimos a muchos idiomas. Todo lo mejor.
@@MemorySeekers muchas gracias 😃
PANAMÁ CANAL IS THE BEST LOCKS IN THE WORLD 🇵🇦
Would love to the Panama Canal!
Would you say visiting in winter is a bad idea?
I would not say it's a bad idea, but you would have to plan your trip carefully as some places/attractions are only open in certain seasons so you may not be able to do all the things we are. The weather can be unpredictable and if you get a lot of snow then some roads will be in accessible. It will also get dark around 3.30 so daylight hours are short. The different seasons bring you the Highlands in very different ways.
@@MemorySeekers I didn’t even consider the roads being inaccessible, thank you!
Nice video, really interesting ❤ But I would really appreciate italian subtitles 😞
Hi Linda we add subtitles for 40 languages to each video. I just checked and I missed out Italian this time! 😢 It is now there as it always should be 😃 Thanks for letting us know!
Have you seen loch ness?
We were on Lock Ness.
