Inverness — capital of the Highlands
Free PreviewBase yourself here the first night. Pick up supplies (Tesco Extra on Telford Street is open 24h), get cash (Highland ATMs are rarer), and book any campsite nights you haven't already. The River Ness walk and Inverness Castle are enough for an evening.
