Tourist Guide Inverness:

Inverness is located in the north of Scotland, near the mouth of the River Ness. This town of approximately 55,000 inhabitants is known as the ‘Capital of the Highlands’ as it is the only large town in this region of Scotland.

Inverness enjoys a pleasant climate but summer is the best time to visit: daylight lasts for long periods and the weather is pleasant. During winters, the average temperature is 5°C, but the region may have the occasional snowfall and the wind chill can be severe.

Inverness’ strategic location at the mouth of an important river made it a coveted region from the early days.  Different areas of the town were repeatedly fortified. Today, it is an important commercial town on which the other highland villages depend. It is also one of the fastest growing towns in Europe.

Inverness is a great place as it is the Capital of the Highlands. The Highlands of Scotland is a stunning destination with mountains, glens, great rivers, lochs(lakes) castles, battle sites and much more. Inverness is ideally placed to visit them all. It has become the Capital because of its position, all roads radiate out to every part of the Highlands. Inverness itself has great restaurants, a wonderful theatre, cinema, great shops, nature reserves and the River Ness flowing through the centre. It has its own airport(Dalcross) and a main line railway station. It is a thriving city surrounded ... More by wonderful countryside with the largest fort in Europe(Fort George) Macbeth's Cawdor Castle and Culloden Battlefield where Bonnie Prince Charlie was finally defeated. One trip is never enough there is so much to do and I havn't even mentioned Loch Ness!!
