Googled and More!

Yes - we've been Googled!
Last week Nessie was spotted on Google Earth on the surface of Loch Ness - so all you guys out there take a look at http://www.google.com/ and see what you think.

Also we are one of the iconic places in the UK to be photographed for Google - so it all helps to promote the area. You can go onto Google and see where you are coming to for that weekend break or holiday. What would we do without the Internet?.

For an area like Loch Ness the media is the life blood to getting our message across and like all good mysteries and stories media attention comes and goes like the weather. The last few weeks has seen a lot of media attention over and above the Google story - 2 weeks ago the Guardian section covered a review that I was asked to submit called 'My Inverness-Shire'. Last week Diana Plater from 'Australian Associated Press' stayed with her sister and cousin at the hotel and interviewed me about the Loch Ness story. Last weekend, Charles Miranda the London bureau chief of 'News Limited Australia' covered the whole story for both press and Internet for News International.
That well known personality and journalist Bill McAllister interviewed myself on tourism for the local I'mag. To add a little more excitement to the area Nigel Coles and his team of swimmers swam Loch Ness in relay over 2 days as the weather on Saturday night was atrocious. Our congratulations to the whole team for such a stalwart effort under such extreme conditions and hopefully they raised a lot of money for the 'Rainbow Children's Hospice'.

So as you can see there is always a story here at Loch Ness.

At the Loch Ness Clansman Hotel, we are used to catering and accommodating the media. In our previous hotel we entertained nearly all the film crews and documentary makers that have covered this story for the last 20 years - so we know what you require and we are flexible enough to provide it for you and so don't go past us

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!

Let's roll by phoning 10456 450326 and ask for Willie or Rory
