Explore Inverness

Known as the Capital of the Highlands, Inverness sits at the meeting point of the River Ness and the Beauly Firth. It's the perfect base for exploring Loch Ness, Culloden, and the dramatic landscapes of the far north.

Top 5 places to visit

1Loch Ness

The world's most famous loch stretches 37 kilometres south-west of the city. Whether you're monster-hunting or simply marvelling at the scenery, it's unmissable.

2Culloden Battlefield

Just five miles east of Inverness, this atmospheric moorland was the site of the last pitched battle on British soil in 1746, ending the Jacobite rising.

3Inverness Castle

The distinctive red sandstone castle sits on a ridge above the River Ness, recently transformed into a visitor centre celebrating Highland culture and history.

4Urquhart Castle

Dramatic ruins on the banks of Loch Ness, offering some of the most photographed Highland scenery in Scotland. The five-storey Grant Tower still stands proud.

5Cawdor Castle

The medieval castle associated with Shakespeare's Macbeth, surrounded by three beautiful gardens and dense ancient woodland just south of the town of Nairn.

Getting around Inverness: Public transport to Loch Ness, Culloden, and Cawdor is limited — a local taxi or private hire is by far the most convenient way to reach these outlying attractions from Inverness city centre.
