Inverness

Among Scotland’s cities, Inverness stands out for its setting on the River Ness, near the head of the Moray Firth. The river runs north from Loch Ness through the city, linking Inverness to the Great Glen, the long fault valley that cuts across the Highlands. The red-sandstone Inverness Castle, built in the 1830s, rises above the river, while the Victorian Market preserves a covered shopping tradition in the centre. Inverness is widely regarded as the capital of the Highlands and makes a practical base for the region’s coast, glens and lochs. Nearby Culloden Battlefield marks the 1746 defeat of the Jacobite army. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Inverness and the Scottish Highlands.
