A beautiful area of Scotland is one of this year\u2019s top trending winter staycation destinations, according to new data released by Airbnb. Fort Augustus, on the southern tip of Loch Ness, made the top three most popular destinations.<\/p>\n

The historic village is the starting point for many tourists eager to catch a glimpse of the elusive Loch Ness monster. But it\u2019s not all about Nessie.<\/p>\n

Visit Scotland states: \u201cLying on the impressive 60 mile long Caledonian Canal, halfway between Inverness and Fort William, Fort Augustus offers spectacular views down Loch Ness and is a paradise for keen walkers and cyclists with many beautiful walks around the area, the most popular being the Great Glen Way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Great Glen Way stretches from coast to coast across the Highlands, linking Fort William and Inverness.<\/p>\n

The Suidhe Viewpoint is one of Tripadvisor\u2019s best-rated attractions in Fort Augustus, offering incredible views of the landscape.<\/p>\n

\u2018Mike O\u2019 wrote on Tripadvisor: \u201cThe views from here are stunning. Lakes, mountains, glens. In fact, the stop is also known as the Great Glen Ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Billysan\u2019 said: \u201cDrove this road on three occasions and the scenery changed every time. It\u2019s a stunning viewpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there are no confirmed sightings of the Loch Ness monster, the Loch is an incredible sight on its own.<\/p>\n
