Inverness is known as the “Capital of the Highlands” and is an ideal spot for exploring Scotland’s beauty. Located on the northeast coast of Scotland, the largest city in the Scottish Highlands has an Old Town with structures that date all the way back to the 14th century. History buffs would have a great time visiting the various ancient battlegrounds and medieval ruins. For nature lovers, a visit to Inverness’s Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the United Kingdom is a must. Of course, one of the most well-known natural attractions in Inverness is the Loch Ness! While you might not spot Nessie so easily, this freshwater lake is still one of the most magnificent sights in the Highlands. Fully immerse yourself in Inverness by glamping (i.e. camping in glamour) in the Scottish Highlands with Trip101’s list of the best glamping spots in Inverness, the UK.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots.
