Drumnadrochit (Scottish Gaelic, Druim na Droichaid) is a village in the Highland local government council area of Scotland, lying on the west shore of Loch Ness, at the head of Glenurquhart. The settlement grew up around a bridge over the River Enrick and the name Drumnadrochit is thought to be derived from the Scottish Gaelic and mean the Ridge of the Bridge. The village lies on the A82 road, near a junction with the A831, adjoining the villages of Milton to the West and Lewiston to the South.
Historically it was within the local government county of Inverness (until 1975) and the Inverness district of the Highland local government region (1975 to 1996).
The village is popular with tourists and there are three hotels. Attractions include several Loch Ness Monster exhibitions, and the nearby Urquhart Castle which is one of the most visited sites owned by Historic Scotland. A winter event, Drums and Rockets, has also recently commenced.
In 2006 the village hall celebrated its centenary.
Drumnadrochit is served by the local Glen Urquhart High School.
The village is home to shinty team Glenurquhart Shinty Club.
