Loch Glascarnoch Dam

Loch Glascarnoch is a 7-kilometre-long (4.3 mi) reservoir in the highlands of Scotland between Ullapool and Inverness. It is dammed on its eastern end. The reservoir was created in 1957 and forms part of the Conon Hydro-electric Power Scheme.

Ness Islands

Take a leisurely stroll along the river to the Ness Islands. Planted with mature Scots pine, fir, beech and sycamore, and linked to the river banks and each other by elegant Victorian footbridges, the islands make an appealing picnic spot. They are a 5 minute walk from the Tree House – head upstream on either side of the river (the start of the Great Glen Way), and return on the opposite bank.

Kessock Bridge

This iconic, 1056 metre long , cable-stayed steel bridge , crosses over the Beauly Firth between Inverness and the village of North Kessock on the Black Isle, and carries the A9 dual-carriageway. Opened in August 1982. The views whilst crossing over the Firth are very scenic, and it’s worthwhile stopping at the pretty village of North Kessock for a stroll, and to look back on the bridge and glorious highland vistas.

Loch Ness (Dores beach)

Dores Beach is located on the northeastern shore of Loch Ness. It provides an unobstructed, panoramic view down the entire 23-mile length of the world-famous loch. Unlike the busier, steep-sided western bank along the A82 road, this side features a wide, curved shingle and pebble beach. It is a favourite local spot for sightseeing, walking, and looking for the legendary Loch Ness Monster

Scottish History

Here in Inverness, we are surrounded by historical sites and attractions. With ancient castles, military forts, battlegrounds, burial chambers, historic buildings, churches, gardens and museums, you can explore Scotland’s long and fascinating past.

Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre

Visit the powerfully moving site of the final Jacobite Rising – the last and most harrowing pitched battle to be fought on British soil. Explore the interactive visitor centre, view fascinating artefacts from both sides of the confrontation, and experience the battle in our immersive surround cinema. Cared for by the National Trust for Scotland.

Fort George

Fort George is an 18th-century military base, which juts into the Moray Firth at Ardersier near Inverness. The British army built the gigantic structure after the Battle of Culloden, which ended the Jacobite Rising of 1975-6. Intended to counter any further attacks from Jacobite rebels. Although by the time it was completed there was no longer a threat and it has famously never fired a shot in anger. Today, the fort is open to the public as a historic visitor attraction.

Culloden Viaduct

The Culloden Viaduct is an impressive railway viaduct crossing the River Nairn, to the east of Inverness. You might pass over this bridge on your way to Inverness, if travelling by train from Edinburgh or Glasgow. But it is also great to see it from the ground. So if you are in the area visiting the Clava Cairns and Culloden Battlefield, add the Culloden Viaduct to your itinerary. You can view it from the roadside, or find a nice spot on the banks of the river.
