The people! The lochs, rivers and firth, and the Culloden field.
Con
Gets overcrowded with tourists, can be pricey in peak season.
In a nutshell
A hidden treasure wrapped in tartan and mist.
18 Reviews Ft. George is still a working fort. It was built to subdue the rowdy Highlanders after the Jacobite Rebellion. You cross an interesting draw bridge over the moat to enter the fort and then can walk around to visit the ramparts, the chapel, the museum and a few other places that are open to the...
12 Reviews This is where Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobites were soundly defeated by the king’s forces. The museum has an ‘immersion room’ that really gives a sense of what the fighting was like. You stand in the middle of the room while floor to ceiling 3D screens on all four sides of the room play battle...
7 Reviews If Loch Ness is not one of your next destinations anyway, you coulod easily do a day trip from Inverness. Take Bus 17/19A/917/919 to Urquhart Castle from which you have a wonderful view on Loch Ness. For thouse who wish, there are Loch Ness cruises offered from the castle. Two miles away from the...
6 Reviews The first castle on this sport was built in 1057 by Malcolm III. The castle was erected to replace another one which was destroyed by Malcolm as that one was the place where his father was presumably killed by MacBeth. That 11th century castle was a wooden structure and throughout the centuries,...
6 Reviews This is a local and national icon. One of the most photographed... It is on the west shore of Loch Ness. We visited on a very cold, frosty, December morning. It was sunny and beautiful, with frost covering the ground and the trees, and mist floating around the nearby hills. Could not ask for...
4 Reviews It is an 4000 years old burial site, consisting of 3 doughnut shaped rock mounds, 2 with passage to the inner circle.You will probably not spend 3 hours to this site, but it's free, mysterious, old and for me north american, it is just amazing to see how far the history goes.
3 Reviews You just gotta love dolphins, right? There are numerous companies offering tours of the Moray Firth and its dolphins, but we decided to go with the highly recommended EcoVentures on the Black Isle (not far from Inverness). Located at the heart of the Moray Firth Special Area of Conservation,...
3 Reviews Just east of Inverness is Cawdor Castle. Tour of part of the castle is well done. However, highlight of the show are the gardens, which are dazzling. Two distinct garden areas and several miles of paths through deep woods. Hedge maze and every type of flowers imaginable. Next to Cawdor Village,...
2 Reviews This beautiful victorian building is still in use as a town hall, although some authorities have moved to more spacious places. Still, it is one of the most remarkable building in the town centre. It was built in 1872 and features neogothic little turrets as it was the fashion at the time. There is...
2 Reviews The Cathedral doesn't really stand out between the other churches in Inverness, such as the Old High Kirk or the Free North Church. One of the reasons might be that the original design included two spires which were never built due to lack of funds. The church was built between 1866 and 1869 in the...
2 Reviews The battle of Culloden Moor which took place on 16 April 1746 put the end to the Stuart hopes of regaining the throne of Scotland. Bonnie Prince Charlie and his men were defeated at the battle by the English army under Cumberland in only 40 minutes.. The battlefield has monuments to both the...

iaint Says: I had drinks and dinner in the Castle Tavern one Saturday night in October 11. It was good. They have a good selection of local (craft) beers, so I tried a couple. Dinner was venison steak - delicious, and cooked rare, just as I asked. I had a dessert too - some kind of...
Johnny Fox: Good and popular Irish Bar
Airpunk Says: A friendly Irish pub with a good atmosphere. As one of the largest pubs, it has everything you would expect of such a location: A good menu, an even better choice of beers and occassional live music. Johnny Fox is popular with locals and tourists as well. The pub is not the...
The Keg: A down to earth bar to meet locals
Airpunk Says: A good pub to meet ordinary local beer lovers from Inverness who want to watch a sports game. Got befriended with some oil platform workers and their friends while a ManU - Bursaspor match was shown on the screen. It was a day when I was in search for a pub showing Inter vs....
Airpunk Says: Inverness is in the far north of Britain in the Scottisch Highlands. If you are not trevelling from Scotland or northern England, the plane can be a better (and often cheaper) alternative to the train. FlyBe and Easyjet have regular connections to London and a couple of...
P.J. MacKenzie's: The Quality Gentlemen's Outfitter in Inverness
JessH Says: My husband was looking for some new shirts and suits, "fitting" for his new job... and let's face it: not all of us can afford Hugo Boss or Armani, but sometimes it just has to be a few notches better than that regular Marks 'n' Spencer's suit... thank heavens for P.J....
Airpunk Says: If you are a non-vegetarian and are on a visit to Scotland, you may want to try haggis. That's the Scottish National Dish, containing mainly sheep's entrails which is not an appetizing idea. Sometimes, you need to be brave to order Haggis at a restaurant, therefore I suggest...
JessH Says: John walks out of the small take-away holding a steaming portion of fish 'n' chips. I see him walking towards me whilst I wait at the top of the street. He opens the lid of the Styrofoam box, smiles in anticipation and just as he's about the pop the first chunky chip into...
Explore a quiet shore of Loch Ness lake
adize Says: Me and my friend were walking through the road from Drumnadrochit back to Inverness and went down to explore the shore of the lake. Unexpected, utterly gorgeous landscapes, not very usual. I recommend going off the beaten track here.

With both feet on the ground in Inverness
I love Inverness because at one point you can be strolling through the city's centre, in the hustle and bustle of shoppers and tourists and a few minutes later you can escape the noise and take a...
Inverness Travel Tips - Loch Ness - Worth One Day
I like Inverness, now after years, and having lived there for a year. Yet I can still remember my disappointment - no "shock" at how dirty, drab and unattractive it was. It has its really wonderful...
Maybe this city doesn't have too much to see compared to other cities in Great Britain or Scotland itself, hoewer, I think it's nice to spend at least one full day. Furthermore, it's a perfect place...
