Inverness attained “City” status in 2000 and has become an increasingly cosmopolitan environment, well suited for both a City Break and a more extended stay. There is much to do in and around the City, with many historic buildings including the Castle and the Town House as well as the Museum and local art galleries. There are beautiful walks along the River Ness through the Ness Islands and onto longer walks along the Caledonian Canal.

There are many restaurants in Inverness, suited to all styles all budgets, making use of internationally renowned ingredients such as wild salmon, venison and of course the odd drop of whisky. Those wishing to “go on” after dinner will find an excellent selection of hotels and bars, some of which offer local music.

Whilst Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city, the more rural Highlands are within easy reach. Loch Ness, the Black Isle, Speyside and the Cairngorms are all close at hand.

The Black Isle is really a peninsula not an island, with lots to see and do. The beautiful scenery attracts many walkers and cyclists. The area also attracts many birdwatchers and dolphin lovers.

As well as the possibility of a larger than average “catch”, Loch Ness is Scotland's largest and deepest Loch and offers many attractions including the gardens at Abriachan, Urquhart Castle near Drumnadrochit, the Caledonian Canal Heritage Centre and walking the Great Glen Way (shorter walks are available!).

Speyside is one of Scotland's loveliest areas and is famous for salmon and whisky. The river Spey is one of the famous salmon fishing rivers whilst Speyside offers the Malt Whisky Trail. There are more malt whisky distilleries in this small area than in any other part of the country.

The Cairngorms is one of the most enduringly beautiful places in Europe with a real energy and vitality with lots of walks and for the more energetic, climbing skiing and canoeing to name a few.
