Inverness
3 things to see
Inverness is the gateway to the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness, a small riverside city where the real attraction is the free, wild landscape in every direction. Walking the River Ness and its islands or the path up to the castle viewpoint costs nothing, and the Loch Ness shoreline is free to reach with your own legs. Trains run south to Edinburgh and Glasgow for onward travel. Spring and early autumn bring milder prices and fewer midges than high summer.
