The Speyside Malt Whiskey Trail in Inverness is great for walking or riding a car admiring picturesque forests. But also, you can pop in local distilleries and sample popular Glenlivet and Aberlour sorts of whiskey right there if you are a passenger.

Walking on Church Street in Inverness, pay special attention to house number 17. Abertarff House dates back to 1593, and locals consider it the oldest dwelling house in the city.

Your visit to Inverness would not be full without riding top-open double-decker red hop on hop off buses. The buses run from 9:30 until 16:15 at an interval of one hour. You can board the bus from any of its designated 11 stoppages and hop off at any stoppage. So if you especially like one of the offered sights, like Whin Park, Inverness leisure, Bellfield Park, Dochgarroch lock, Ness Bank Church, War Memorial, Bank Street, etc., you can just get off the bus, explore it and then continue to the next one. The ticket costs around 12 euro, but booking it online in advance sometimes offers discounts.
