Beyond the Victorian Market's bustling stalls, Inverness Castle stands sentinel over the River Ness, offering views that explain why Highlanders are so fiercely proud. The Eastgate Shopping Centre provides retail therapy, but the real magic happens in cosy pubs where locals debate the existence of Nessie over drams of whisky. Eden Court Theatre hosts performances worth planning around, while history buffs can't miss Culloden Battlefield, where Scotland's fate was sealed in 1746.
