Dores (Scottish Gaelic: Duras) is a village located on the east shore of Loch Ness, 10 km south west of the city of Inverness, in the Highland council area of Scotland. The now defunct RockNess music festival used to take place in fields to the north of the village.

RockNess was an annual music festival which took place in Scotland at Clune Farm, Dores, on the banks of Loch Ness near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. The first Rockness festival took place on 24 June 2006 and continued to grow in size every year until 2013, which was the last running year of the festival. In June 2008 AEG took over as the main promoter of the festival. The festival was known as "the most beautiful festival in the world" and "the only festival with its own monster" due to its scenic location at Loch Ness which is the alleged home of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster. Despite the festival's name it was not solely a rock festival but presented music from all genres, especially mainstream and electronic music. The festival was cancelled after 2013.

Aldourie (Scottish Gaelic: Allt Dobharaidh meaning dark water or stream water) is an historic Estate on the east shore of Loch Ness. It lies about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Inverness and is within the council of Highland, Scotland. Aldourie Castle had minor alterations to the dining room and other sundry areas designed by Robert Lorimer in 1902.In 2015, Aldourie Castle was purchased for £15 million by Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen

Aldourie Castle is in Scotland, situated on Strath Dore, between the southern banks of Loch Ness and the Glen leading onto Drumashie Moor. The parkland of 38.9 hectares (96 acres) extends northeast and southeast of the house. Lying close to the village of Aldourie, it originally consisted of a rectangular main block, with a round tower at the south-west corner. In the 1860s, William Fraser-Tytler extended the castle in all directions, including a balustraded round tower, oriel windows, scroll-sided dormers, turrets, corbels, rope-moulded stringing and gunloops. It underwent extensive restoration work between 2002 and 2010, and again in 2017, when the original walled Victorian kitchen garden and surrounding grounds were revived, with help from students from the National Trust for Scotland. The gardens and parkland are included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.

Lochend (Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch) is a settlement that lies at the start of the Caledonian Canal, at the head of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland. It is the location of the Bona Lighthouse.

Loch Dochfour is a freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands southwest of Inverness, part of the Great Glen. The southern end flows in through the Bona narrows from Loch Ness. The northern end flows out through the Caledonian Canal and the River Ness towards the Beauly and Moray Firths to the North Sea. Before construction of the Caledonian Canal, Loch Ness ended at Lochend, flowing into the River Ness. The building of the Dochgarroch weir by Thomas Telford between 1825 and 1830 raised the water level of the river upstream by almost two metres, flooded the riverside back to Loch Ness, and created Loch Dochfour.This means that Loch Dochfour can be seen as that part of the River Ness upstream from the weir, or as an extension of Loch Ness northwards to the weir, or as part of the Caledonian Canal, or as a loch in itself. The Bathymetrical survey of the Scottish fresh-water lochs considered Loch Dochfour to be distinct from Loch Ness proper, but capable of being regarded as forming part of Loch Ness.
