With free onsite parking and space to store outdoor equipment, the beauty of the wider Highlands and Islands is waiting to be discovered.

Inverness is the UK’s most northerly city and it offers all that you would expect from a modern city in a unique location. When it comes to dining out, there is an array of options to suit all budgets and tastes. There is also a wide variety of entertainment available, including the local theatre, Eden Court. Eden court boasts its own cinema and a number of theatres which play host to local and touring artistes and theatre companies. The Ironworks is a fantastic live venue which again attracts local, national and international artistes.
With the River Ness at its heart, Inverness is a picturesque city, and no visit is complete without a meander round the ‘Ness Islands’ – a series of islands inter-connected by suspension bridges. Close by to ‘The Islands,’ as they are known locally, are an array of family friendly attractions:
Beyond the city
Outside of city life, you can be in the countryside within minutes and stunning scenery is never far away. It is even possible to make day trips to the Isle of Skye and the Orkney Isles – check out the following websites:
Nessie spotting
For ‘Nessie’ hunters or for those who simply want to take in the beauty of the famous loch, Loch Ness is only a short drive away. It is also possible to ‘cruise’ Loch Ness with Jacobite Cruises, which can also include a stop Urquhart Castle. For those who prefer a bit more speed, check out Beastie Boats for a thrilling trip on a RIB speedboat. Just visit:
Adventure & Wildlife
Likewise, the picturesque Cairngorms National Park is also close-by and offers everything from gentle walks to a complete range of more adventurous outdoor activities.
Landmark Forest Adventure Park at Carrbridge, (just 23 miles south of Inverness) is a great day out for all the family. From water slides to the ‘Runaway Train’ rollercoaster, you just can’t help but have fun!
In Your Element Scotland also offer a variety of outdoor pursuits both in Inverness and Aviemore (as well as wider Scotland).
Wildlife and the Highlands go hand in hand and we are very fortunate to have one of the largest school of dolphins in the UK situated very close-by to Inverness. If you are lucky, you can see these majestic creatures close to the shore off Chanory Point.
North Coast 500
