Why choose Inverness for your holiday?
Innerness is known as the 'Highland Capital,' thanks to its central location in the Highlands. While it still retains its market town vibe, the city is thriving with things to do and see. From its ancient castles and highland clans to its wealth of museums and places to eat and drink, you'll never be short of things to do in Inverness.
If you're a history buff then Inverness is the place to be. It's one of the best places to learn about Scottish history. Culloden is the site of one of the last battles of the Jacobite Uprising. You can visit this windswept moor on the outskirts of Inverness and discover the history of the Jacobite rebellions.
The visitor centre stands beside the battlefield and features amazing interactive displays and artefacts from both sides of the battle.
Inverness Castle in the city centre will greatly add to your itinerary. The beautiful fortress has stood since 11 AD and has seen plenty of events and turbulent times throughout its years. If you want one of the best views of Inverness, head up to the castle viewpoint.
Another building worth visiting is Inverness Cathedral. This building has a rich history and heritage and is an amazing example of the architecture of Alexander Ross. Brodie Castle should also be on your radar. This fine 16th-century tower house has a central keep, two five-storey towers, a guardroom and secret passages.
For a spot of art and culture, head to the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery where you can delve into the art and history of the Highlands. Discover stories from the past and learn about the culture that has shaped the Highlands.
Other museums to visit include Cromarty Courthouse Museum to discover seven centuries of Cromarty history, Goam House Museum to learn all about the Picts and the Family History Highland Archive which is dedicated to all aspects of genealogy, clan history and family history throughout the Highlands.
For whisky lovers, take a trip to the Tomatin Distillery or the Glen Ord Distillery and learn how their delicious whiskies are made.
There are plenty of walks in Inverness if you're feeling energetic. Ness Island Walk takes you from the city centre, along the River Ness to Ness Islands and back. The Inverness Historic Trail guides you through the city's New and Old Towns. Plodda Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Scotland with spectacular forest surroundings.
Inverness is blessed with some amazing marine wildlife. There are lots of boat tours available where you and your gang can head out onto the water and spot bottlenose dolphins, whales and seals.
Inverness is also the perfect base to explore the attractions and sites of the surrounding areas. Discover majestic Highland scenery, breathtaking castles, dramatic mountains and peaks - and even the Loch Ness monster. Loch Ness is just 20 minutes from Inverness and makes for an epic day trip. This large body of water and the atmospheric ruins of Urquhart Castle are beautiful to see. You can even take a boat trip to see if you can spot Nessie!
