Cheap flights from Cork to Inverness from £101

Watch out for sheep, goats, and highland hairy cows that can suddenly jump out on the road in the Inverness outskirts. If it still happens, locals have their inside fun to take funny photo-ops.

Being a pretty modern city, Inverness still has that piece of mystery and traditional legends. Head to see a Cootie Well. The well itself is a spring of water with a tree growing alongside, and a “clootie” is a piece of cloth. A cloth corresponding to the ill body part is.= dipped in the well and tied to a nearby tree. It is said to heal people. Weird and a bit spooky, but still interesting. Try for yourself!

If you want to experience truly traditional Scottish food according to an old recipe, head to The Kitchen Brasserie on 15 Huntly Street. Here you will find venison, duck and fish chips baked in a special sauce. But it is better to book a table in advance.
