INVERNESS

The River Ness dominates the centre of Inverness.

Quality accommodation only a few paces from the mouth of (inver) this river and a mere 200 metres from the city centre provides a wonderful opportunity to explore the city without having to use the car.

Castlebrae, as the name suggests, is on a hillside (brae) close to Inverness Castle.  This beautiful sandstone castle, sitting on the site of a former wooden castle destroyed by the Jacobites. The castle is currently the courthouse in Inverness, and out front there is a statue of Flora Macdonald, the heroine of the Jacobite Rebellion, gazing up the Great Glen in search of her prince.

There are excellent open-topped bus tours of the town including the infamous Culloden Battlefield providing an opportunity drop in on it's excellent visitors centre. 

Golf is a regular passtime for many Scots and Inverness has three golf challenging courses and approximately 25 other excellent links and woodland courses within an hours drive - including two Championship courses at Nairn and Dornoch.

Alternatively, Inverness has an excellent museum and plenty facilities, such as the Aquadome, Rollerbowl and Warner Village Cineplex.

Castlebrae's own 'information folder' will help you select from the city's wide range of restaurants, pubs - many of which are within easy walking distance.
