Inverness Castle Experience

Inverness Castle, a prominent feature of Scotland's Highland Capital, offers a glimpse into the region's rich history.

Founded in 1836, the castle was built on the site of an earlier medieval structure destroyed by the Jacobites in 1746. Its distinctive red sandstone architecture and picturesque Baronial turrets create a striking visual. Although primarily serving as the Sheriff's Court, it is surrounded by beautiful gardens accessible to the public.
