Taking a trip to Inverness
Take a coach to the ‘Capital of the Highlands’ for an intoxicating mix of old and new. The largest city and cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness is a city with far more fantastic attractions to explore than its size would suggest, each just waiting to be enjoyed. As Scotland's most northerly city, visiting Inverness offers everything from daytime Dolphin Cruises, to an authentic Victorian Market, where you'll find a variety of covered shops and local coffee roasters to sample during your visit

Inverness - top 3 things to do
1. Track down Nessie at Loch Ness
A trip to this part of the world wouldn’t be complete without visiting Loch Ness. The largest lake in Scotland by volume, it’s home to the legend that is the Loch Ness Monster. And if you don’t catch sight of the wiley sea creature, there’s always the stunning backdrop of misty mountains to make up for it
2. Taste Scotland’s finest at Tomatin Distillery
The Scottish Highlands and single malt whisky go hand-in-hand, so a tour round the Tomatin Distillery is a must. Learn the history of the award-winning whisky and how it’s made, before sampling a wee dram at the Tasting Bar.
3. Soak in some culture at Eden Court Theatre
Eden Court Theatre is the biggest arts centre in Scotland and a fantastic venue to catch a show. From the latest movie blockbusters and live music concerts, to opera and ballet, there’s something to suit all tastes. Check out what’s on and book your coach travel to Inverness around it.
