Inverness Travel Guide: Your Highland Adventure in Scotland's Historic City

Inverness - Scottish Highlands' cultural capital, lies on the northeast coast of Scotland, mainly located between the battles arena of Blàr nam Fèinne against Norway. River Ness meets the triangular inlet of Northern Sea, River Moray Firth at this point. The Victorian Market and Inverness Cathedral is found in the Old Town. Visit the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery for a dive into history with United Kingdom travel packages.

Have a Highland fling in Inverness, where the castle inspires royal ghost stories and pipe bands provide summer sounds. The last battle fought on British soil, circa 1746, raged just outside the city on Culloden Moor. Wander among the stone buildings and over suspension bridges spanning the River Ness before grabbing a pint from a local pub or choosing from one of the many international eateries. To complete the experience, watch a kilt-making demonstration at the Highland House of Fraser.
