This popular open-top double-decker bus tour gives an insight into the history of Inverness, known as the Capital of the Highlands. Plan your day from the top of a double-decker bus, with 360-degree panoramic views of Inverness and the surrounding countryside.
The tour will take you from the original street between Castle and Kirk, with the oldest building Abertarff House, to the recently completed Highland Archive Centre, by the banks of the River Ness.
See Inverness Castle, standing guard over the city. It's the latest of 5 fortresses through the centuries that have had many famous visitors, including McBeth, Robert the Bruce, Mary, Queen of Scots and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Not all of them were welcome!
Discover the city's many churches, including St Andrews Cathedral, probably one of local architect Dr Alexander Ross's finest buildings.
Leaving the city centre behind, the tour takes in Tomnahurich Hill and the Caledonian Canal, where you can hop off to enjoy a cruise on Loch Ness. A little later, see the flight of 5 locks at Muirtown constructed in 1822 by Thomas Telford to bring the Caledonian Canal to sea level.
Take to higher ground for incredible panoramic views of Kessock Bridge, The Black Isle and the Inverness Firth out to Fort George.
The final section of the tour takes you along the river-side then beneath Inverness Castle to see Flora MacDonald's statue, the 3 Graces, then along General Wade's road by Bellfield Park to Holm Mills shopping village.
