About Inverness

Inverness is the most northerly city in the United Kingdom, and one of Scotland's most historic and interesting places. The city is known as being the main gateway into the wilderness areas such as the highlands and the central lake regions.

Inverness itself is located on the Scottish coast on the mouth of the River Ness, around 124 miles north of Edinburgh. The city is at the mouth of the River Ness, which connects the famous Loch ness to the sea, and is regarded as being the heart of the Scottish whisky industry.

Whether you are travelling to Inverness in order to start your trip around the highlands, or are looking for an opportunity to play golf on one of the first class links courses that are located along the coast, then you will find what you are looking for in Inverness.

No visit to Inverness itself is complete without spending some time exploring the areas of extreme natural beauty on the banks of the famous Loch Ness. Since the famous monster was first spotted there in the 1930s, a whole industry has grown up around the idea of a prehistoric beast living in the murky waters of the lake.

Although you're very unlikely to see any actual monsters, there is a small museum where you can see some of the evidence that has been collected over the years. If you want to see some of the genuine wildlife that the highlands are famous for, then Inverness is a great place to start looking. You can find several local tour companies who will provide you with guides that will take you out into the highlands to see wildlife such as Golden Eagles, Red deer, badgers, and on certain reserves, reintroduced beaver, wolves and bears.

If you book car hire in Inverness, you will be able to explore the coast of the loch and drive out into the highlands to see the smaller villages such as Lairgmore which has a traditional whiskey distillery, and is known as the gateway to the highlands.
