Inverness and North Scotland 

Inverness ancient trading city of the north

Vikings

Pictish

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.
