traveling mell doctor home hello from
Inverness Scotland we are here to show
you a bunch of things that you can do
here in the capital of the highlands
Inverness is a pretty old city started
at least around 500 AD and it's not very
big but it's pretty dense and beautiful
that has about five 550 thousand people
sorry I'm so excited about Inverness and
we're gonna start up here at the castle
and it is used as an administrative
building now but it's a beautiful
beautiful building and it's a great
place to get a start for your tour of
the city because we're right up above
the river Ness hence the name Inverness
and you get a good view from here it's a
great place to watch the sunset too so
let's see what else we should see in
Inverness today
[Music]
if you're in Inverness and it's not a
Monday you should come to the Inverness
Museum and Art Gallery and it's supposed
to be a pretty interesting museum that
celebrates Highland culture and art and
their local artists and crafts as well
as people from farther afield that are
on display here
[Music]
tucked away in all these old buildings
is the avert F house which is the oldest
house in Inverness and it was built in
1593 so it's seen a lot of history and
inside the displays show kind of a
history of the house but also of
Inverness and it is part of the National
Trust for Scotland so if you've got one
of those passes you can get in with your
past
one of the really cool things to see
here in Inverness is Leakey's bookshop
it's full of used books and two stories
and a spiral staircase and it feels like
like maybe Harry Potter should buy books
there Wynne Park is a great place to
bring the kids on a nice sunny day like
today or any day when you just need to
get out some energy there's a lot going
on up here
there is a ice rink and a water park and
playing fields and crazy golf which is
like putt-putt golf and a skate park so
so much you can do we got here or you
can get here by taking the two mile
trail which is the thing to do in itself
that goes along the river Ness it goes
up one side and crosses and then up the
other side
and there are some islands you can go
across so that would be a second thing
to do in addition to wind park
one of my favorite stops regardless of
where we are is always the Botanic
Gardens and we're here at the ones in
Inverness I believe it's free or at
least there's no one to pay when you
come in it's kind of a smaller botanical
garden but it looks really fun and like
a variety of plants here everything from
tropical the cactus to carnivorous and a
sensory garden so there's kind of
something for everyone
[Music]
as I said before there's this trail that
kind of goes along both sides of the
river and it crosses over onto some
islands that are right in the middle of
the river Ness which is where we are now
and it's really beautiful it kind of
feels like you're out in the woods here
with all these big trees and the river
there's someone identically fly-fishing
up here it's really a nice respite from
the city
[Music]
the Inverness Cathedral or st. Andrews
is another must-see in Inverness it's
this Gothic Revival Church built in 1869
really impressive architecture and some
beautiful stained glass on the inside
it's big its Cathedral esque and it's a
church so if you love churches you're
gonna love this we're gonna pop around
back because there is a cafe which is a
great place you can sit outside and have
a little snack so we always recommend
making a stop for ice cream or in this
case waffle sticks
we found this cute little pop-up place
or through Truckee kind of place right
on the edge of the river and you can get
coffee or tea here too if that was your
thing it's great for a little break and
then sit by the river and watch it fly
by
if you have some time you should come
down to Eden Court it's a theater and
cinema and Performing Arts Center
there's some galleries in there and a
restaurant but it would be a great place
to see a show whether that's a movie or
something live and there's some
interesting art right here in the
courtyard if you want to just take a
peek in these are just a few of the
things you can do in Inverness Scotland
we recommend you get yourself over here
and check it out in person but thanks
for watching we have lots of other
videos from other places we've been that
might be entertaining to you and if you
could like this and share it and if
you'd like to leave a comment and we
would love to hear from you you can go
to travel email comm and leave a comment
in the blog post that I'm sure will be
up at any moment
about things to do in Inverness thanks
