Inverness
What’s it like living in Inverness?
Inverness is the capital of the Highlands but, unlike some capital cities, it maintains a close-knit community. It’s a place where you’ll find friendly locals, keen to share the best bits of their home city with you.
Inverness Airport links the city to other parts of the UK, including the Scottish Islands. This has increased the accessibility of Inverness, as well as the rest of the Highlands.
Not being far from Loch Ness, there’s a a big tourism and hospitality sector, and of course, Monster Be-Friending Opportunities.

Situated amongst fantastic countryside with forests and rivers, there’s plenty for outdoors-y people to enjoy. Hiking, cycling, and water sports are all common reasons for people to visit. And even more reason for people to stay.
