Inverness, meaning "Mouth of the River Ness" is the capital of the Scottish Highlands. The river Ness which flows from Loch Ness into the Beauly Firth divides this city. The city is the largest in the area and is dominated by the 19th century red-stone Inverness Castle (listed as a Category A building) which was built on the site of an older castle. Immortalized by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Inverness was a fortress but served as a government building in the last few decades. However, the castle is closed due to renovations and hopefully the castle will reopen to the public sometime in 2025.
Once coveted for its strategic locale, Scotland's northernmost city is a booming economic and cultural hub, full of Highland charm.
