Neighbourhoods
Inverness city is small and easy to get around. It has plenty of shops and restaurants. Pubs at night offer live music from local bands.
Our neighbourhood is on the edge of the city located next to woodland and it is a tranquil area with next to no noise at night. It has spectacular views of Ben Wyvis and The Beauly Firth. However it is still very easy to get into the city if required.
