Inverness campsites
Head to Inverness' old town for an impressive Victorian Market and then shroud the day in history, at Inverness Castle and St Andrew's Cathedral. The walk beside the River Ness watching the fishers among the Ness Islands will be hard to forget. The Inverness Botanic Gardens are a tropical oasis in contrast and then get set to fly high above Inverness campsites at the Highland Aviation museum.

Things to do in Inverness
Rooted deep in history, the city of Inverness is situated within the Scottish Highlands and deserves plenty of visitors’ time. It’s also a great base for exploring the beautiful landscapes of the Highlands.
One of the main draws in the city is the pretty River Ness. The riverbank is an excellent place for a laidback stroll, while lots of action is available on the water itself, including fishing, kayaking and canoeing.
There area is heaving with great walking routes, such as the Inverness Historic Trail, which serves up all the highlights of the city, to the many Loch Ness walking and cycling routes that start from Inverness. You won’t want to miss lazing beside the Caledonian Canal on a warm day.
There’s more to experience by the waterside, so why not try your luck spotting the dolphins at Chanonry Point.
For a new angle on things, hire a bike and explore the city and surrounding area on two wheels. Alternatively head out of the city, get behind the wheel at Experience4x4 and enjoy exhilarating off-road 4x4 driving and quad biking.
The Inverness Museum and Art Gallery is a wonderful attraction for visitors of all ages, with interactive exhibits that can keep active children captivated.
Castle Gallery is a great place for art lovers to explore, with a variety of exhibitions held throughout the year. Top that off with a visit to the Highland Aviation Museum, an absolute favourite, thanks to the way visitors are often allowed to sit in the planes’ cockpits.
Or to get your sea legs, explore Ship Space, an interactive maritime museum.
Pretty Inverness Cathedral is a tranquil place to escape the hustle and bustle of city sightseeing, while nature lovers will enjoy exploring the beautiful Inverness Botanic Gardens.
