I'm planning a trip with my children ages 4 and 7 and we are going to drive from Edinburgh to Invergarry. I wanted this location for the main reason it wasn't too northwest and we could do a day trip to Loch ness( a must for the kids). We are then going to Oban so I'm wondering if it's worth the detour there or shall I stay near Urquhart castle ?

To add...I would obviously do other day trip from there as well...not just loch ness. The plan is 2 nights there.

Invergarry is a nice wee town, and personally I would stay there rather than what I'm about to suggest.

If I had kids that age, I'd stay in Drumnadrochit (near Castle Urquhart) because it's set up for them. It's very touristy, but has nice things too.

I wouldn't do a day trip to Oban from there OR Invergarry. Is that what you're suggesting?

I'm going to oban for a night to break the long drive to isle of Arran.

OK. On that basis, it's a good place to stay. Do think about Drum for the reasons I mentioned.
