Scottish folklore speaks of the now-famous Loch Ness Monster. Inverness, which is situated on River Ness, in Scottish Highlands, is considered home to this arguably fictitious creature and to a rich culture and history. Archaeologists claim that the area has been inhabited since the Late Mesolithic period, from 6,500 BC. Many stories have originated in this area, including that of Gaelic King Macbeth, who has been immortalised in Shakespeare’s works. It’s also known for the popular City of Inverness Highland Games. You can witness how dreamy the city looks from the top of Inverness Castle, and the gorgeous St Andrew’s Cathedral is also worth the visit. History buffs can explore Culloden Battlefield, while nature lovers marvel at Botanic Gardens. If you want to spend a vacation in this mystical Scottish city, read on to find out about the best cabin rentals in Inverness, UK.
