Tour description
Inverness is the friendly capital of the Scottish Highlands, a riverside city crowned by a red-sandstone castle and set amid some of Scotland's most legendary scenery, the gateway to Loch Ness and the Highlands. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and setting.
You will gather beneath the castle, wander the old town and riverside, and hear about the Highland history, the clans and the legends of Loch Ness. Along the way you will take in views over the River Ness. Historic and scenic, Inverness is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
