Nothing beats Inverness, the Scottish Highland capital city for a warm welcome. If you are visiting Inverness for business or for pleasure you can only be impressed by this clean and well laid out city and its blend of all that is traditional and modern. If it’s high street shopping you are looking for, Inverness has all that you can hope for, from high street stores to traditional craft stores.
Inverness has an intimate small town atmosphere, with most of the shopping in the city based around Castle Street and Bank Street, aptly named as its sits on the famous River Ness. Inverness, because of her size and her location, has retained much more of her Scottish Heritage than most of the larger and more cosmopolitan Scottish cities, and it is not unusual to see a kilted figure in the city, or hear the swirl of the bagpipes. Visitors to Inverness can be assured of a wide choice of unique Scottish craft ware, including items of clothing made from pure wool tartans and tweeds that are sold and worn all over the World.
Restaurants offering all that is great in traditional fare are not difficult to find, and anyone who has ever eaten kippers for breakfast will place that rare Scottish highland delicacy on their never to be forgotten list. In fact every taste in food is catered for in Inverness.
Inverness people know how to enjoy a good time and there is something to do every evening in the town center. From traditional Scottish ceilidhs, to night clubs or even to enjoy a cold beer on the banks of the River Ness.
Inverness is strategically placed on the Caledonian Canal which links the city and the region to the North Sea through the five famous lochs (lakes) Probably the most famous loch is Loch Ness, which is a very short care ride from Inverness. No one has ever managed to ascertain how deep Loch Ness is, or if it is indeed the home of the legendary Loch Ness Monster.
One thing for sure is that the scenery around the Loch and surrounding areas is as spectacular and awe inspiring as anything you will see anywhere in the World.
From Inverness you can travel along the coast to the fishing villages of Banff and Buckie, north to Dingwall and Invergordon to see the Whisky distilleries or west to some of the most beautiful glens ever seen, such as Glen Affric, which is reputed to be the most beautiful in Scotland. There are so many points of interest .

Whatever you decide, Inverness and Inverness-shire has it all and looks forward to welcoming you
