The city has twice been named the happiest place to live in Scotland – what better endorsement could there be for the capital of the Highlands? The rich history of Inverness can be traced throughout the city and surrounding areas, from the vitrified fort at Craig Phadrig, to Inverness Castle soon to become a top visitor attraction, to Culloden Battlefield, the site of the bloody Battle of Culloden which ended the Jacobite uprising in 1746. Modern day Inverness retains its historic market town charm while offering all you would expect from a cosmopolitan city. The city centre features a variety of shopping options from small unique stores in the Victorian market to large high street names in the Eastgate Shopping Centre. The thriving culinary scene offers an eclectic mix of restaurants and eateries throughout the city, while the Eden Court Theatre & Cinema leads a flourishing arts scene with a year round programme of events. Away from the city, lovers of the outdoors have an abundance of choice when it comes to destinations.
