Car Hire Inverness - Mini guide to Inverness

Sandwiched between two ranges, Inverness sits astride the Caledonian canal which links the mysterious Loch Ness to the North sea. It’s an ideal stopping off point en-route to the Highlands.

Relatively small for a city, a pedestrian mall is the centre of Inverness as far as tourists are concerned, with many B&Bs located on the hill running the length of its southern flank. It’s full of Scottish souvenir shops, pubs and restaurants.

Contemporary local art is on display in various galleries throughout Inverness, notably at art.tm, on the bank of the River Ness, Castle Gallery on Castle Street, and Riverside Gallery on Bank Street. Further upstream, it is difficult to miss the angled-architecture of Eden Court Theatre. Traditional Scottish entertainment is on offer at the Spectrum Centre theatre in the shape of Scottish showtime, a blend of typical Highland ‘ceilidh’ and Scottish variety shows, with pipers and traditional Scottish dancing. If you are interested in Scottish tartan and tweed, you might like to visit Hector Russell's Scottish Kiltmaker Visitor Centre. More family orientated is the Inverness Aquadome, an indoor water park in the city.

Golfing enthusiastists can enjoy one of many excellent courses in the area. In fact the 1999 Walker Cup was held on a course at Nairn, a short drive north.

By car you can explore Loch Ness, the Highlands and the Cairngorms.

The major suburbs in Inverness are: Culcabock, Haugh, Leachkin, Inshes, Raigmore, Scorguie and Westhill.
