Inverness – The Highland Metropole

It is the northernmost city in Great Britain, the Highlands’ capital, and gateway to the north of Scotland. 

Keeping with the turn of the millennium, the capital of the Highlands made it! In 2000, Inverness was declared a “City.” No wonder because around 60,000 Scottish now work and live here in the northern part of the UK: the Highlands.

Our tip: If you want to enjoy the old rows of houses and the unique flair of the river after your walking tours in Inverness, the Ness Island Walk is worthwhile. 

You start at Inverness Castle and walk down the Island Bank Road, past the War Memorial and small parks.

After a little over a kilometer, you will reach a small island in the river. The Ness Islands’ walk begins, where you can see the big wooden Nessie and other lovely things.
