24 Hours in Inverness: Morning
To kick off your 24 hours in Inverness and get your blood flowing you should take a walk down to the River Ness and across the Ness Islands. If you’re feeling energetic you can continue all the way to the Botanic Gardens, which are worth a visit.
While down at the river it’s always worth checking in to Eden Court Theatre to see if there’s an evening show that you can catch.
Heading up into town, you must stop in at Velocity Café, a social enterprise and community cycling hub, for a very tasty homemade vegetarian lunch.
Afternoon
In the afternoon take a taxi or bus out to Loch Ness, to walk off your lunch strolling along the shore and do some ‘Nessie’ spotting, before making your way back to town.
For some retail-therapy-with-a-purpose Prickly Thistle’s flagship store, Rebel Row, is a must visit. Prickly Thistle are Scotland’s only B Corp textiles producer, crafting beautiful, sustainable investment pieces, here in the Highlands.
For craft beer or whisky connoisseurs, you could head to Uile-bheist Distillery & Brewery on the riverside, Inverness’ newest brewery and distillery, for a tour and tasting.
Evening
A quick stop back at your hotel and then it’s out on the town for food and some of the local nightlife that Scotland is famed for.
Start your evening at the Black Isle Bar for some locally produced organic ales (and fantastic pizza), or for the wine connoisseur, Walrus & Corkscrew, and then move on to a night of revelry and traditional music across the road at Hootenanny’s.
