Inverness Castle

17 miles west of Nairn

 

Inverness Castle was built in 1835 on the site of an earlier fortress overlooking the River Ness. Today it houses the

Sheriff Court
, so only the Drum Tower is open to the public in the summer season. Here you can discover the story of the castle.

 

In its grounds stands the statue of Flora MacDonald, showing the Highland heroine looking towards the Isle of Skye  for Bonnie Prince Charlie.
