Machu Picchu vs Urquhart Castle Ruins
Machu Picchu
3. Machu Picchu is without a doubt one of the most intriguing destinations on the planet, 7000 feet above sea level located on a hilltop among the Andean mountain ranges. These ruins were thought to be inhabited in the 1400s, pre-Spanish settlers. It was then rediscovered in the early 1900s and opened to the public. Majestic it is but in high demand and over 400,000 people visit a year creating competitive prices with the hope only the most willing to visit.
Urquhart Castle
Urquhart Castle is a majestic piece of architecture built overlooking the mysterious Loch ness, home to the famous ‘loch ness monster’ or ‘Nessie’. The surrounding area is surrounded in intrigue; St Columba was believed to have driven ‘Nessie’ into the depths of the loch in the 6th century along with many other interesting stories from the past. There are cairns found among the ruins that are almost certainly more than 4000 years old, making it one of the oldest ruins in existence today.
