Walks
in Inverness-shire.

From the Ness Islands to Invergordon's gables.

Walking here can mean an hour by a river or a week down a glen. In Inverness, a riverside loop runs from the castle along Ness Bank to the wooded Ness Islands and back past the cathedral, about three miles in all. The Great Glen Way is the long one, 79 miles from Fort William to Inverness along the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness. Up in Easter Ross, the gable walls of Invergordon carry large murals telling the town's story, and the trail round them is free and open every day. Pack a light waterproof, whichever you choose.
