Local
area Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, epitomizes the new
vibrancy of the Northern Highlands. As a destination base it presents
opportunities to enjoy arguably the greatest choice of things
to do and see of any city in Scotland.
Have a true 'Highland Fling'! In the city itself - truly something
for everyone. Dance, theatre, music, film. Bars and pubs buzzing with
visitors from near and far.
Historic attractions include Inverness Castle, St Andrews Cathedral,
and Inverness Museum and Art Gallery.
Shop till you drop at the finest retail selection in the north.
Great cultural attractions including Eden Court theatre.
Superb walking along the river Ness. Boat trips on the Caledonian Canal.
Sailing in the sheltered Beauly Firth.
Forest walks at Craig Phadraig - where the sixth century King Brude
built his fort overlooking the town and river. And some of the friendliest
people you'll ever meet. Even the local cab drivers have been specially
trained in 'Welcome Host'.
Then
venture further afield and appreciate the experiences which are
making the North of Scotland not just a fabulous arena to quench
the growing thirst for self-fulfillment and enrichment in an ever
increasing knowledge based economy - but a stressfree paradise,
far from the madding crowd - escape and forget for a while the
pressures and pace of modern life.
