Dating in Inverness
In shortInverness is where most Highland roads, trains and buses meet, so it is often the fairest place for a first date. The centre is small enough to walk, with the River Ness running through it. Pick somewhere public and easy to find, then see how the conversation goes.
A first date idea
A loop around the Ness Islands
The Ness Islands sit in the river a short walk upstream from the city centre, linked by footbridges. The Highland Council repaired the bridges and paths and added a low level loop path suitable for a circular walk. Go in daylight and stop for a drink in town afterwards.
