Inverness, in Brief...

Inverness is often called the capital of the Highlands, Scotland. It is an ancient settlement, even before Medieval began. 

My husband and I fell in love with this place, charming and peaceful, urbanised yet low density, conserving the historical structures and beautiful riverside with green and breeze. Despite its cold weather, we spent a great afternoon wandering the city. Small part though, as we enjoyed ourselves very much that we’ve forgotten about time passed us by too quickly.

We parked our car in Eastgate Shopping Centre, had our quick lunch and thought, walk the city randomly- without any firm plan in mind.

This was our start (sort of) of an aimless adventure of the day- up toward the Inverness Castle. It was cold, I wrapped myself tightly. Not the girls though.

Then we strolled down heading to River Ness.

The sun was started to warm us up, the wind was less brutal in attacking my face.

We came to the statues of Faith, Hope and Charity and learnt a little about the restoration.

Inverness has a great location astride the River Ness at the northern end of the Great Glen. In summer it overflows with visitors intent on monster hunting at nearby Loch Ness, but it’s worth a visit in its own right for a stroll along the picturesque River Ness, a cruise on Loch Ness, and meal in one of the city’s excellent restaurants. – Lonely Planet

And in the end, we came to Bella Italia for dinner. I was attracted by its menu that was kids-friendly.

That was how we end our lovely day in Inverness.
