Inverness is a Scottish city on the northeast coast of the country where the River Ness meets the Moray Firth. You may have heard this city mentioned in Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth, as Castle Inverness is where Macbeth and his wife live at the beginning of the play and murder King Duncan. This beautiful part of Scotland has a charming old town with a 19th century cathedral, an indoor Victorian market and many museums and galleries. Many people visit Inverness each year because of its wild landscapes, quaint towns and historical charm. You'll be surrounded by a rare abundance of plants, shellfish, trees, flowers, mammals, birds, and much more – perhaps even Nessie herself. As the capital of the Highlands, Inverness often acts as the base for travellers who are exploring the Highlands, as it has an international airport.
