Ecket Castle is a historic monument, located in the Scottish Highlands south of Inverness, on the cliff of Lake Ness. It is high and surrounded by water on three sides. It used to be an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack military fortress and one of the most important ancient relics in the Scottish Highlands. All we can see now is the ruins of the castle, which is said to have been destroyed by the defenders in 1691 in order to prevent the castle from being occupied by the enemy. But even today, the castle is still spectacular.
