Inverness
Attractions in Inverness
Inverness Castle is the starting point for a tour of Inverness, here the visitor gets interesting information about the history of the region. The 19th-century town hall is next on the route, it rises imposingly above the roofs of the city. When visiting the old marketplace, you should definitely take a look at the floor where you will find the bucket stone Clach-na Cuddain - according to legend, the fate of this stone is closely linked to that of the city. The old prison tower Jail Steeple rises 40 meters high and bears witness to the past. We recommend a visit to the Inverness Museum & Art Gallery, here interesting stories and artifacts from the Highlands are on display.
