Things to do & see in and around Inverness

Inverness is Scotlands newest city and has an exciting atmosphere surronding it, set in the Scottish Highlands. However alot of the old town charatristics still remain. With a population of around 90,000, and a very popular local football team Calley Thistle, Nature walks and everything in between there realy is something for everyone.
