Local Area
Inverness

We are happy to advise about local history and day trips to places of interest in the area when you are staying with us.
From Macrae House you can easily walk around Inverness to see its historic buildings.
We recommend a trip to the Museum between the Castle and Tourist Information Centre.

Granted city status in 2001 for the Millennium by H.M. The Queen, Inverness is an ideal base from which to explore the Scottish Highlands.
If you are without a car, take a coach tour - there are different ones every day of the week during the summer. You can get as far as the Isle of Skye or ancient Orkney (and back!) in a day. There are also daily cruises to Loch Ness and boat trips to see the dolphins in the Moray Firth.

Around Inverness you can visit castles such as Cawdor, Brodie, Urquhart, Kilravock and Moniack.

Other historic places include Culloden Battlefield, Fort George, the Clava Cairns, Sueno's Stone, Beauly Priory, Hugh Miller's thatched cottage and Cromarty Courthouse.

Madonna fans may wish to head north to Dornoch where she got married last year! And even if you are not a fan, you may still enjoy a walk inside the 13th century cathedral.
