Advantages: Lots of attractions

Disadvantages: It's Cold, not very big

Inverness is the Capital of the Highlands. It is a very small City with a small population compared to all other cities. It is busy as well as a quiter life compared to other cities. There is plenty to see and do with cruises down Loch Ness maybe to be the first person to catch a photo of Nessie, with stunning views of Urquhart Castle it''s definately something you wouldn''t want to miss.
There are many shops, chain shops as well as many small independant shops. Most shops are based in the Centre of Inverness, there is the Eastgate Shopping Centre, High Street and also the Victorian Market to walk about and browse the shops, further afield there is the Inverness Retail Park with some shops there and the cinema for Inverness, this is also a nice place to go shopping but is always busy.
Inverness has a lot of nice places to dine out at, with many along by the waterside with lovely views in the evening with the River Ness lit up, the nightlife is usally quite busy on a Friday and Saturday night, it has a few night clubs and many smaller pubs with all the same happy buzz in them.There is always friendly atmosphere in Inverness.
There is also a large park about a mile from the Centre where there is a lovely walk as well was a large pond where you can rent a small rowing boat. The park for the kids has plenty to offer with a small train that you sit on and it takes you round the track for about 5 mins, the kids love it and so do the big kids. Near the park is the swimming pool - The Aquadome which has a fun pool with three flumes, and an outside part to the pool as well, there is also a separate pool for people to be able to swim lengths. Nice weekend trip away

Summary: A lot of things to do...like look for Nessie
