The Loch Ness Centre it's quite touristy, but probably worth a visit anyway if you are a tourist, which we were. It is located in the very quaint, if difficult to pronounce, little town of Drumnadrochit. I recommend getting tickets in advance. You can save a little money and you can arrange for an "anytime tour" which means that you can just join whatever tour group is next in the queue. It is something like a Loch Ness Museum, but is set up as a talking and walking tour that takes you from one room to another of the Centre, each containing some artifacts and a video presentation that tells a different portion of the story abou the Loch Ness and Loch Ness monster sightings. The tour takes place in the Drumnadrochit hotel, which is where one of the first reported sightings took place, or at least it was an employee of the place. Reportedly, it was in April 1933 when a Mrs. Mackay, who was the manager of the hotel, saw something while driving back from Inverness with her husband. At least that is the story. At the end you get to vote on whether you think the Loch Ness monster exists, or whether the whole thing is nonsense, or that there are still possibilities. In our group, the majority voted in favor of nonsense. They said, however, that the overall vote tally for all visitors mostly supports people thinking there's something. Of course it is clearly all nonsense, in my strong opinion. One thing that they do make clear is that the lake has been investigated scientifically in almost every possible way, including very extensive sonar searches and DNA analysis of the water. There is zero evidence of any cryptozoological beast. Nonetheless, now that the notion exists, and is maybe the world's most famous pretend creature, it is probably worth a visit if you are in the area. Very close to Urquhart Castle. Anyway, as I said, I think the place is worth a visit. They also have touristy shops and even a tiny gin distillery to visit.
