Top Attractions in Inverness
💡 Go at sunset for the best light. The climb up the steps is short but steep; worth it for the photo of the Ness Bridge.
💡 The Pictish carved stones on the ground floor are the highlights – don't skip them. The shop has better quality souvenirs than the tourist tat on the high street. Allow 45 minutes.
💡 St Stephen's has a spiral staircase to the bell tower – ask the warden if you can go up. The view over the river is stunning. Both are usually open weekdays 9am–4pm.
💡 The cafe inside serves decent coffee and cakes at reasonable prices – cheaper than the chain coffee shops. Check the exhibition space on the first floor; it rotates monthly and often features local photographers.
💡 Start from the Bught Road entrance for a quieter route. The paths can get muddy after rain, so wear sturdy shoes. Look for salmon leaping in autumn.
