  Hotel Scotland

Dunain Park Hotel Inverness is located just outside the Inverness city boundary and our hotel is well placed for exploring the 'new' City of Inverness - The Capital of  the Highlands

  Set on a high knoll over the river Ness is Inverness Castle.

Today as in times gone by the castle remains the centre of the old town of Inverness.

In daily use even today the castle still stands at the end of High Street as a proud landmark to all Invernesians (the inhabitants of Inverness)

 
 

At the opposite end of High Street is some may say a modern-day castle, in the form of the new Eastgate Shopping Mall.

Recently extended to now include many of the national stores outlets as well as the local small shops, which also abound in the streets and byways Inverness City proper.

 
  Inverness is rightly famous for it's many Churches and Cathedral.

Many of which are sited on the banks of the river Ness.  The rivers bisect  Inverness and then carries the water from Loch Ness out in to the Moray Firth and beyond to the North Sea.

 
 

Another landmark on the banks of the river Ness is the Eden Court Theatre.

Eden Court promotes an ever increasing range of productions, and during your visit there are bound to be some which match your cultural leanings.

 
  Looking east from the footbridge over the Ness at Eden Court, towards the city centre gives a sense of timeless tranquillity which pervades this part of our city.

Even today it is not an uncommon sight to see fly-fishermen (in Struthers ) apparently marooned in the centre of the river Ness, tempting perhaps that trout or salmon onto that delectable fly.

 
 

A cabers-throw from our Castle is the Town House, in fact it's the next building. Today it's put to municipal use but it's grandeur and presence  perhaps stand as a beacon against modern times.

The town house is just one of many fine old buildings which are scattered throughout the city centre so be sure and raise your eyes and look above any shop front to see our history looking down at you.

 
  Each year Inverness holds The City of Inverness Highland Games, which is in fact just one of many held in and around the immediate surrounding area.

But of course ours are the best!

Be sure and check out the dedicated website to see just what you cannot possibly miss.
