Mini Guide to Inverness Airport

As a central part of the Scottish Highlands, Inverness boasts unmatched scenery. This is Local Hero territory, stretching from the Moray Firth, along a River Ness that’s primed for salmon fishing, through to the fabled Loch Ness, home of… well, who really knows? And situated as it is within climbing distance of both the Cairngorms (home to the Aviemore ski resort) and the Grampians, Inverness has become one of the UK’s most popular destinations for those who prefer their breaks active. Yet this isn’t just some great wilderness. The city of Inverness itself is as modern as most other major Scottish locations, boasting the northernmost branches of several of the top high street chains. Inverness Airport has made getting into and out of the city substantially easier. And nearby Nairn features two up-to-the-minute championship golf courses. Nonetheless, this is an area rich in history, with so many castles and forts within easy reach it’s a wonder why Hadrian ever bothered putting up that wall of his. Urquhart Castle and Fort George, from the 18th century, are presently in a state of disrepair, but the 19th century Inverness Castle and Cawdor Castle - the latter a name that should be familiar to scholars of Shakespeare’s Macbeth - are in better condition; both offer reconstructions and guided tours of their grounds. Inverness is also close to Culloden Moor, the site of the last mainland battle fought in Britain. There’s far less bloodshed, and much more preservation, at the region’s heritage centres, such as Mallaig and Landmark Park: full of local history, with working sawmills and exhibits on forestry and Man in the Highlands. As for Monsters in the Highlands, there’s the Loch itself, 23 miles wide and 600 feet deep, to explore. Take a river cruise over this most picturesque of waters, and stop in at the Monster Museum, if you haven’t already seen something unexpected lurking in the depths…

More flights tips

During busy periods (especially July and August), prices for flights to Inverness tend to be considerably more expensive than flights to larger Scottish cities such as Edinburgh and Glasgow. This is often simply a case of supply and demand - most of the flight routes between England and Inverness only operate once or twice a day, whereas flights from London airports to Edinburgh and Glasgow can operate up to ten times a day. So, is it worth taking a cheaper flight to Edinburgh or Glasgow, and then heading up to Inverness by car or on public transport? This really depends on how you're planning on getting there - the A9 is scenic in many places, but this route can get clogged with traffic. There are six or seven trains per day running between Inverness and the Scottish central belt, but this will often mean a change at Perth (they do at least usually hold the Inverness connection if the feeder train is running late). If your flight arrives at Glasgow Prestwick, you can benefit from half price rail travel to any destination within Scotland. [by James Avery; Flightmapping.com - 01/03/2006]
