Inverness ancient trading city of the north

Vikings

Pictish

Roman

Scots

Romans

All have influenced this city

Inverness castle

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

John O’Groats
Dunnet Head the northern most point of mainland Britain

And the beautiful villages and dramatic coastline and history of North Scotland

Smoo Cave

Flying fox across the fjord

Inverness’ Calladonian Canal opened a trading route into the northern highlands

Locks at the start of the Calladonian Canal stepping up to Loch Ness

So my rediscovery of the Celtic Ray stated in the old streets of Inverness.

  1. Jude – South Dell, Ness, Isle of Lewis, Scotland – Hello Visitors I'm Jude, a writer and dreamer. I live in the Outer Hebrides on Lewis 'living on the edge' as they call it on the north west coast of the Island, gazing out at the denim blue Atlantic. Wild winds and horizontal rain! I have a lot of hobbies and a passion for motorcycling. I'm probably a Pagan. I hope you enjoy some of my scribbles and thoughts! You can find my books here: https://www.judethompsonauthor.co.uk/

        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!! 😀
