Having visited the castle just over a year ago, it's nice to see so many new photos of it on Google Earth. My only complaint however is that no-one seems to know how to spell 'Urquhart'.
It's not Urqhart, Urquart or any other combination of letters! It has a second 'U' un its spelling - Urq(u)hart. It probably seems like a petty matter, but it's important to the various clans concerned about the way their names are spelled.
I have spent my life explaining to people that our clan spells its name as Macdonald....not McDonald, MacDonald, Mcdonald etc etc etc. So, I'm sure the various Urquharts of Scotland would prefer to see their name spelled correctly.

You are absolutely right I have changed the name to the correct spelling.
