Inverness, Scotland

Inverness is a city in the glorious Scottish Highlands northeast coast, where the River Ness meets the Moray Firth. Teeming with bagpipe players and enthusiasts thanks to the city’s annual Northern Meeting in September, Inverness also boasts a diverse music scene. Gaelic was the native language until the turn of the 19th century. Its Old Town features 19th-century Inverness Cathedral, the mostly 18th-century Old High Church and an indoor Victorian Market selling food, clothing and crafts.

The castle is directly above the Loch Ness (with monster and all).

The Loch Ness monster resides in the same lake as the Urquhart castle. About the Loch Ness monster
