A few things to know

CAMERAS AT THE READY

A zoom lens can help you get a closer look at mysteries in the water.

LAYER UP

It’s warm on board, but the deck can get a wee bit windy.

SNACK RESPONSIBLY

Don't feed the monster – Nessie's on a zero litter, gluten-free diet right now!

ROCK SOME BOOTS

They’ll help you keep a good grip in castles and on deck.

PACK A MAC

The Scottish weather can be unpredictable. Raincoats are a no-brainer.

KEEP A TIGHT LEASH

Nessie loves dogs. For dinner. So keep them back from doggy paddling.
