Inverness - Near Loch Ness

Fleeting Visit

My second visit to Inverness, and again only a flying visit. Shock, horror at all the ugly concrete, after seeing all the beautiful scenery on route. Also couldn't bear to part with more than a pound for the car park (pay for car parking in Scotland - whatever next - hope it dont, catch on!) which bought me precious little time.
I would echo the views of other scribes on these pages and say that it is a good place to get stocked up to visit the more interesting places nearby.

Pros:"Good raod, rail and air links, plenty to see nearby"
Cons:"Too many tourists, busy, high car park charges"
In A Nutshell:"Great place from which to explore the highlands"

 Hi Steve. Will be visiting my in-laws in Inverness this August, and then drive down to Edinburgh for the festival. Really enjoyed your tips & gorgeous photos; thanks for sharing! Greetings from the desert / Jess in Dubai :-)

 Great Inverness tips! It will always remain a puzzler to me why the Scottish/Gaels are so obsessed with Flora MacDonald helping that foolish drunkard Bonnie Prince Charlie
