More about Inverness
Situated along the howling, fog-covered coast of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness is steeped in history and legend. For it was here that Shakespeare's tragic hero Macbeth allegedly murdered the good King Duncan. And it's here that the mythical creature "Nessie" has eluded scientists and "monster" enthusiasts for centuries. Despite a tempestuous climate and a lack of big city attractions, Inverness possesses a stark beauty and romantic vitality that continue to entice countless tourists. Indeed, there are plenty of nearby interests to while away the time. Be sure to take in the 23-mile-long Loch Ness, the daunting Inverness and Cawdor castles, the historic Cullodean Battlefield, and the popular seaside resort beach at Nairn. To warm the spirit on a blustery day, take a scenic road trip to the famous Glenfiddich Distillery.
