Inverness is the natural Capital of the Highlands due to its geographical location, its proximity to the river Ness, the Caledonian Canal leading to Loch Ness and the fact that the roads through the glens all converge on the city.
The Caledonian Canal took 19 years to build and was finally opened in 1822 – one year after Fraser House was built.

Spend a holiday here and you will be able to lose yourself in the beauty and excitement of this, one of Europe’s last great-unspoilt areas.
From the thriving shopping centre you can walk within minutes to scenes of rural peace and splendour. The city is dissected by the River Ness, where over Edwardian footbridges the Ness Islands demand to be explored and overlooking the river is the Castle. Inverness Castle which was rebuilt in 1834-46 and now used as a courthouse, is also the setting for the popular Castle Garrison Encounter which offers you the chance to sign up as a mid 18th century soldier.

Urquhart Castle and Loch Ness

The definitive romantic ruin, Urquhart Castle has good views across and along Loch Ness, and a stunning set of ruins making this a must-see visitor attraction.

Just overlooking the city is Culloden Moor where the last land battle pitched on British soil took place. This ended the Jacobite Rising in 1746 where Prince Charles Edward Stuart was defeated.

The area abounds with historic sites, castles, battlefields, heritage centres, museums, galleries, crafts, pubs and whisky distilleries.

Walking, cycling, golf, pony trekking and skiing are available within the area. You can stroll along a meandering riverside path, amble to a forest waterfall or stride out through the wilds of Glen Affric. The Great Glen Cycle Route provides woodland trails for cyclists and walkers. Ancient drovers’ trails provide rewarding routes for the pony trekker.

In the Inverness area there are numerous organised tours and cruises on which you can just sit back and enjoy the journey. Among the most popular trips are Loch Ness Cruises and Dolphin Cruises. On dry land there are excellent car, taxi, minibus and coach tours to choose from.
