Inverness is a wonderful Scottish city with a fascinating history. Meaning Mouth of the River Ness, the ancient cathedral city is a welcome metropolis in the sprawling Scottish Highlands.

From Nordic invasion to Jacobite battles and Royal killings, Inverness has played an important part in British history.

The city has a huge range of restaurants, accommodation and things to see and do.

River Ness

Highlight • River

The River Ness is a short river flowing from Loch Dochfar at the northern end of Loch Ness, through Inverness and into the Moray Firth. The Caledonian Canal follows its course from the loch to the city, but then travels by a different route to the Firth.

The river follows the Great Glen fault, and the northern end of the Great Glen Way follows the river's eastern bank.
