Inverness – Capital of the Highlands

No visit to the Highlands of Scotland would be complete without a stay in Inverness, aptly called the capital of the Highlands. Inverness is a Gaelic word meaning “mouth of the River Ness”, which flows out of Loch Ness into the Moray Firth. 

Inverness is a city with a rich variety of places to visit and things to do both in and around the city. The city boasts a host of historic buildings, notably in the Old Town and from the Victorian Market to the new award-winning Eastgate centre.

Inverness Castle and St Andrew’s Cathedral overlook the River Ness and one of the most beautiful riverside settings in Britain. From the castle along the river and through the Ness Islands you can watch anglers casting long lines to leaping Atlantic salmon.

Host to many events and festivals, explore the art, history and heritage of the Highlands at Inverness Museum & Art Gallery or relax in the tropical gardens at Inverness Floral Hall – or why not take an open-topped bus ride round the city or a Cruise down the Caledonian Canal to world famous Loch Ness.

Loch Ness

Over 20 miles long, a mile wide and 700 feet at its deepest, Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland by volume. The surrounding area is filled with historic attractions, natural wonders, cosy places to stay, and superb eateries. The Loch Ness Monster is just one of the many myths and legends to be discovered in this particularly beautiful part of Scotland.

Loch Ness is full of surprises! You can sit back and enjoy the landscape, explore the history of the area, visit the charming towns and villages like Fort Augustus, Foyers, Cannich, and Drumnadrochit, or just relax and enjoy the great outdoors. Take a leisurely walk along the shore or a bigger challenge like the South Loch Ness Trail or the 70 mile long Great Glen Way which traverses some of Scotland’s finest scenery, it is all here just waiting to be discovered.
