Inverness
What you need to know before you go
Inverness lies at the end of the Great Glen and is used as the gateway to the mighty Highlands. It's a small city, but thanks to its creative residents and long history, you'd be hard pushed to be bored. Amid its handsome Victorian center, you can appreciate St Andrew's Cathedral, visit the stately Inverness Castle or dine at one of the city's top restaurants.
It's unthinkable for first-timers to skip a visit to the infamous nearby Loch Ness to try and catch a glimpse of the legendary monster that lives below its surface. Even if you don't spot Nessie, it's a fine spot for taking in the great Scottish outdoors.
