If you're looking for a city full to the brim with culture and history, Inverness is a great choice. Take a trip to Urquhart Castle where you can climb the spiral stairway to enjoy expansive views of the freshwater loch and Great Glen, or visit the iconic Loch Ness; an iconic location deep-rooted in history that’s rumoured to be the home of a mythical creature called Nessie.

With some of the best distilleries in Scotland, Inverness is the place to be if you're a whisky enthusiast.
