Summer in Inverness
Filed Under United Kingdom
Boating in Scotland could never be better when you pass by the beautiful city of Inverness. This northern Scottish town continuously dazzles tourists as the city has seemingly perfected the mix of the traditional ways with the conveniences of the modern world. For those on cruise or on boating for the summer season, coming into Inverness through the River Ness immediately provides a picturesque view of the castle built in 1835.
Aside from the beautiful castle that seems to welcome all boaters for the summer, additional structures that withstood the test of time still exists in Inverness. St. Andrew’s Cathedral and the Old High Church are the must visit structures of Inverness, the latter is believed to have been built during the medieval times.
But Inverness is not only about castles and churches for tourists. The city is practically transformed into a city of festival during the summer. Starting July, Inverness will host a series of festivals that shows the best of the city as well as the Scottish traditions that lived through generations. The Inverness Highland Games is considered the kick-off celebration of Inverness. During these days, locals and tourists who are familiar with Scottish traditions sport unique Inverness tattoos. Rafting events are also held during these days. Although the celebration only lasts for two days (18th and 19th), the fun continues for the rest of the summer days.
A highly recommended dock that offers direct access to key cities in Scotland is through Laggan. Cruise ships are stationed there offering fun and travel for the whole family.
