Inverness ancient trading city of the north
Vikings
Roman
Scots
Romans
All have influenced this city
Inverness castle looms over the city
Destroyed and rebuilt a number of times
The Hanoverian garrison during the bloody Battle of Culloden that ended the Scottish uprising.
But I thing I was touched the by the Celtic Ray
At Hootananny where the beer and good craic flower
Inverness is the gateway to the very north of Scotland
The start and finish of the touring route the North Coast 500
It takes you the top of the British mainland
And the beautiful villages and dramatic coastline and history of North Scotland
Inverness’ Calladonian Canal opened a trading route into the northern highlands
So my rediscovery of the Celtic Ray stated in the old streets of Inverness.
Simply fabulous shots! I just love that signpost 🙂
Thanks Jude on the ferry to Amsterdam next week so the European part of the adventure starts then
I’d ask you to bring me a haggis – but it would be well past it’s sell-by date by the time you reached the Dordogne!! 😀
