From the airport

Shop
The Drawing Room is a room family-run store that has something for everyone and features gifts made locally. Homewares, jewellery, accessories and gifts for kids.
You may not have spotted Nessie herself but you can still shop for souvenirs at the Nessie shop, the perfect place to get all your memorabilia.
Inverness Castle was built on the site of a wooden fortress in 1835. The castle, which featured in Shakespeare's Macbeth, is now a Sheriff's Court but you can still admire the marvellous views from Csstle Street and pass Flora MacDonald looking out for her Bonnie Prince Charlie on the way.
For an insight into what animals in the woods get up to while we are tucked up in bed, go on a night tour of Abriachan Forest on 16 August, guided by Highland Council Countryside Rangers.
Just right for long summer strolls, the Caledonian Canal is surrounded by a stunning landscape, offering beautiful sights to soak up along the way.
