Why Inverness Castle matters
Perched on a bluff above the River Ness, the red sandstone castle is a landmark of the Highland capital. The building has been redeveloped as a visitor attraction, so check what is open before you go. Even from the outside, the riverside views and the statue of Flora MacDonald are worth a pause.
Talking points
- It sits on a cliff above the river.
