Invernesscastle - Inverness Castle and the River Ness

Inverness (Inbhir Nis, "Mouth of the River Ness") is a city in the Scottish Highlands, situated where the River Ness flows out into the Moray Firth. It's the only town of any size in the Highlands, and is the region's commercial and administrative centre. It's an agreeable Victorian town that has no stand-out tourist attractions of its own, but has good transport and choice of lodging and eating places. So it's a good base for adventuring nearby Loch Ness, Black Isle, Culloden, Spey valley and Cairngorm National Park.

Inverness has trains to Edinburgh and Glasgow (direct every couple of hours or change at Perth, 4 hours), to Aberdeen (every two hours, taking 2 hours 15), to Kyle of Lochalsh for Skye (four per day, 2 hours 40) and to Thurso and Wick for John O'Groats (four per day, 4 hours). Travelling from England usually involves changing in Edinburgh, but there is one direct daytime train from London Kings Cross via York and Newcastle, taking 8 hours.

The Caledonian Sleeper runs overnight (not Sat) from London Euston, leaving around 21:00 to arrive in Inverness by 09:00; return times are similar. A one-way sleeper berth costs from £140, a seat-only from £50. The online booking via eHalal Hotels system should generate a reservation for a particular berth or seat: if it doesn't, phone up Caledonian Sleeper and ensure one, else you might be bumped off the train even if you're holding a ticket for that specific date. New sleeping coaches are expected to come into service by May 2019. Inverness train station GPS 57.4798,-4.2233 is located at Station Plaza on Academy street right in the downtown. It's a small station with toilets, a news shop and not much else, but there are plenty of pubs and eateries just outside.

Travel on a Bus in Inverness

Buses run every hour or so from Edinburgh and Glasgow via Perth and Aviemore. The main operators are Citylink, Parks of Hamilton and Megabus.

Travel from England usually involves changing in Edinburgh, but National Express and Megabus have a few through-services.

Citylink / Stagecoach Bus 919 runs between Fort William and Inverness along the A82 via Spean Bridge, Laggan, Fort Augustus, Urquhart Castle and Drumnadrochit. It runs four times a day Monday to Sat and twice on Sunday.

You can reach the Hebrides from Inverness without doubling back via Glasgow.

Book a Halal Cruise or Boat Tour in Inverness

Cruise ships often dock at Invergordon, 20 miles north. Most visitors will be on package coach trips of the area. You can also ride into town on the train in less than an hour, but with only four trains per day you need to be sure of your connections.

The Caledonian Canal links the Beauly Firth through Loch Ness to Fort William and the sea at Loch Linnhe. The latter is usually well-sheltered, so small craft can easily continue to Glencoe, Oban and Mull.

Travel on a Bus in Inverness

See "Get in" for routes to other cities and towns. Inverness itself is fairly small and you're unlikely to use the bus. Bus 3 runs to Culloden, and Bus 11 to the airport and the seaside town of Nairn. Bus 16 runs along the east bank of Loch Ness from Inverness to Dores, Inverfarigaig and Foyers, four times Monday to Friday and twice on Saturday.

Best way to travel in Inverness by a Taxi

This is probably the most efficient form of transport after hours, as most bus services cease or become less frequent at about 7PM. You will not pay a great deal for a taxi by UK standards as Inverness is rather small, and routes are very direct. Some black cabs exist, though the majority of taxis are minicabs. These are all fairly trustworthy.

Chauffeur-driven limos are available for hire, eg from Highland Excursions]. A day tour (up to 8 hours) with up to 4 passengers starts from £330. They'll be all booked up if there's a cruise ship in town.

By bike

You don't need one in town, but bike is a good way to reach Loch Ness, and the sights around Culloden. Inverness Bike Hire are based at 12A Church Street. Open daily 09:00-23:00.
