Inverness
Inverness seems designed for the tourist, with its ever-expanding range of restaurants, excellent pubs, and well-equipped visitor center. Compared with other Scottish towns, however, Inverness has less to offer visitors who have a keen interest in Scottish history. Throughout its past, Inverness was burned and ravaged by the restive Highland clans competing for dominance. Thus, a decorative wall panel here and a fragment of tower there are all that remain.
But Inverness makes a great base for exploring the region, and you can fan out in almost any direction for interesting day trips: east to Moray and the distilleries near Forres, south to Loch Ness, and southeast to the Cairngorms. You can even head north to the Northern Highlands.
