Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Inverness, Scotland
This compact Scottish city is perfect for exploration by foot — travelers can easily find their way from the lovely River Ness to historic Inverness Castle and St. Andrews Cathedral, and beyond to the events at Eden Court and the busy Victorian Market. It’s also an ideal base for exploring the Highlands, with the mysterious Loch Ness (and famed local resident Nessie), Culloden Battlefield and the Bronze Age Clava Cairns just a quick drive away.

This wide peaceful river flowing through the city of Inverness is great for fishing salmon.
Reviewed By rolfk232 - Uster, Switzerland
A guided city walk offers plenty of information and views about the urban areas of Inverness. You can expand that with a walk out to the locks in the Caledonian Canal (which we did), or by taking a tour in the harbor & the Moray Firth (we just walked to the harbor) — that covers a lot of the tourist aspects of Inverness. In about an hour you can experience a vastly different aspect of Inverness—the calm, idyllic, scenic atmosphere of a park. It's best to start near the castle, or at Inverness Town House: walk down to the River Ness, then follow the East bank upstream, via Ness Bank, then don't cross the river, but continue on Lady's Walk, then cross a little bridge to the first island, continue upstream, take the next bridge, finally a third one. Soon, you will find a bridge that crosses to the other side of the River Ness. But rather continue on the island, upstream, up to the tiny resting place very end. On the way back, you could switch to the West bank — I rather recommend staying on the island, strolling back on the East side path, passing a couple of sequoia trees (impressive, even though of course not comparable to those in the West of the US). Once you have left the islands, you can still decide to switch to the West bank to visit the cathedral—but without that, you should be back in the city center5 within less than an hour: a beautiful, scenic, peaceful and relaxing walk!
10. Loch Ness by Jacobite
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,703 reviews
Water doesn't get much more mysterious than this 23 mile stretch running through the Great Glen in the Highlands of Scotland.There's no better way to experience Loch Ness than by boat. Jacobite's award winning tours and cruises get you onto the water and into the heart of this iconic landscape. This is a whole lot more than simply sight-seeing. We've been running trips on and around Loch Ness for over 30 years and most of us live here.
