Interactive Walking Map Loch Ness & Inverness

We - Tourism Site Fix, have been working on a dynamic area map of Loch Ness recently. We had the idea for this having been approached by Destination Loch Ness the main destination management group for Loch Ness and Inverness who wanted a visual way to help visitors in planning a holiday in the Highlands. The area of the map covers all of Loch ness Inverness, Fort Augustus and Beauly but the geographical area it is expanding all the time. You can see the present map here http://www.visitlochness.com/mapping/index.php Having developed it the hard work begins.

The way the maps work is simple, there is a main map and 4 area maps, each area map has a series of icons representing walks, cycle trails, heritage sites, visitor attractions and so on. You click on the area that takes your fancy then on the icon that interests you to see dotted around the map all the walks, or heritage sites, for example. Click on the popup baloon which shows a brief description and thumbnail image of the walk and a window opens with a detailed description of the walk with relevant images which you can either then close or click the Print button for taking with you on your days out.

This is where the hard work begins, it takes many hours to publish a walk but we are determined that all the featured walks around Loch Ness are original and local favourites, and much time is now being dedicated to populating these maps with the best walks, the favourite viewpoints, the hidden Heritage sites and everything else which you wont find in the average Scottish visitor guide or Highland walking websites.
We have to date published a few walks mainly on South Loch Ness area in time for this holiday season but will be working on adding more features of all types to these most useful maps for our visitors. I hope we havent forgotten anything here! let us know if there is something else you would find useful, canoe stops on Loch Ness, or wild country camping sites even.
