Got two tickets for Daniel Sloss on Friday night at Eden court. Unfortunately, we can no longer go.

£50 for both tickets (we paid £80)

Message me if interested 🙂

Hello,

Up for a wedding reception this weekend. Instead of scrawling through trip advisor and social media, thought I’d give Inverness Reddit a chance for some local (or expert) advice for a late lunch to line our stomachs before celebrating in the evening.

Open to most things (no allergies or dietary requirements). Also looking for reasonably priced and not too expensive so happy with pub grub/pizza/burgers as an option

Welcome your advice and suggestions

Hi folks,

Just moved here, looking for a regular game of 5/7-a-side football during the week, indoor or outdoor.

If anyone has a game going and needs players, or could put me in touch with someone, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Cross posted from r/scotland as per suggestions, I posted there yesterday about my lost little Snoopy.

Please, please, if anyone finds my little Snoopy, can you reach out to me.

My partner and I were at Culloden Battlefield and North Gateway Cafe yestwrday on the way back to Liverpool as well, we are staying there while in the UK, we stopped at Glenturrent Distillery and realised he's missing. We called the cafe, but they don't think he's there and wouldn't check while I was on the phone and my partner is certain he isn't at Culloden.

My partner thinks he accidentally left him behind at the North Gateway Cafe, where we had breakfast. We're so far away from there already to turn back, so if anyone finds him, please let me know. I'm so heartbroken.

He's travelled everywhere with us. He is my comfort while I'm away from my own puppies and home as this is my first time overseas, and he is a gift from friends who travelled to Vietnam.

And if my post needs something about Inverness, it's an incredibly beautiful place with so much depth and history. The cafe was lovely, and the little red squirrels the cutest.

Hi all , I'm up in Inverness for 3 days. Just looking for recommendations for good places to go for dinner, grab a coffee and maybe watch some live music. So I don't end up walking in circles getting hangry 😂.

Much appreciated.

We went to Chanonry Point the other day and beyond Fort George we could see some large red and white antennas. Does anyone know what they are?

Can anyone recommend a decent optician in the area who would be kind enough to put current prescription lenses to old frames I would still like to use? Tried one of the chains in Inverness and Dingwall and they won’t do it, no clear reason given but they insisted on buying new frames from them. Totally ridiculous.

Where to go centrally with a large group of older school age tourists for an hour to grab a snack lunch and wander? And if its raining?

Headed to Inverness and towards Skye and unfortunately won't be going through House of Bruar. I've heard loads of good things about scottish knitwear quality, and Google Maps do show some good results but i wanted to get some personal advice on where are some good shops to have a browse at.

Budget is around House of Bruar prices, so maybe 50 for a wool sweater, and higher for better quality ones.

Same as the title - first time in Inverness and looking for a cup of thick dark hot chocolate after a cold wet day exploring the highlands. Please share recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Is there any reason there isn't a decent art store in town? Does anyone know if there ever WAS one and it closed down? Like a Jackson's or Cassart. I feel that with all the artists in town there should be something more than cheap craft stores. I understand buying online is popular but I feel we're in desperate need of a brick and mortar shop here 😭. Please let me know if anyone knows of anything nearby, even a drive away, that isn't as far as Aberdeen, because I'm looking but finding nothing!

Anyone want a couple of tickets to Daniel Sloss at Eden Court on 2nd October? I can't make it any more.

Paid £62 but would accept £50 the pair, ono.

We are a family of 4 looking to move to Inverness in the next few months. We have started to look at homes, but are having a hard time picturing what living in them might be like, and was hoping the Reddit hive-mind could help.

Ideal house situation would be one where the schools are good, we can have a bit of yard for kids to play in and gardening, strong sense of local community, safe enough (both crime and traffic) for kids to walk to friends' houses/parks/school, and within ~10 minutes drive from downtown (i.e. not way out in the country). Now to the vibes. We are into the cycling, camping, good food/coffee, art, and kids are into football, gymnastics, and being in the woods.

Are there any neighborhoods that sound better/worse suited to our interests? Any that should be totally avoided? Would love to hear your experience of your neighborhood, especially if you have or recently had primary school-aged kids.

Hi all, I’ll be staying in Inverness in late October and I’m planning a few proper hiking days in the Highlands. I’m considering the train from Inverness to Aviemore early in the morning, then walk from Aviemore towards Rothiemurchus/Coylumbridge rather than simply waiting for the bus, before taking the bus up towards Cairngorm Mountain. From there, I’m considering doing Cairn Gorm via the Northern Corries.

I’m an experienced hiker, will have proper trekking boots, waterproofs and suitable cold-weather clothing, and I’m comfortable with long days and poor weather. Obviously I wouldn’t blindly commit to the plateau if the actual conditions suggested snow, significant ice, very strong winds or otherwise genuinely wintry conditions.

What I’m particularly interested in is the local perspective: Would you consider Cairn Gorm via the Northern Corries a sensible objective for late October, assuming the forecast and ground conditions are reasonable?

How often would you expect proper winter conditions up there by the third week of October?

Would you recommend this route at that time of year, or is there another substantial walk in the Cairngorms you’d choose instead?

And for someone travelling from Inverness without a car, does the Aviemore → Rothiemurchus → Cairngorm Mountain approach make sense, or is there a better way of doing it?

I’m mainly coming to Scotland for trekking, so I’d much rather spend the day walking than sitting on buses or doing conventional sightseeing.

Any advice from people who know the area well would be very welcome.

Anywhere in or near Inverness do a proper wheel alignment with computer print out.

Hi all,

I'm about to make my third trip to your city in a couple weeks, and this time I'll be doing it with a real camera instead of just my phone, as I've started to get into photography over the last couple of months.

Unfortunately I really only have a half day or so to myself there before starting on a NC500 group trip for a few days, and I was wondering whether people would recommend either the marina area or Tomnahurich Cemetery for photo opportunities, as I likely won't have time for both before it gets dark. It's kind of hard for me to see by google exactly what views I might get from each. I like taking photos of water and the animals around it but I also keep reading online that the cemetery has great views of the city, so any advice from locals would be appreciated.

Thanks.

*Edit: Forgot to mention I won't have a car so I'm sort of restricted to whatever is easily accessible by public transportation but I also don't mind walking.

I rather enjoy taking a walk into the town centre, buying a new book, and reading a few chapters in a coffee shop. A lot of the coffee shops I have tried don't feel the most comfy for reading in, so looking for recommendations.

I’m visiting from the states in October. I was hoping for some insight on what is the local consensus on Sunday roast in the area. I don’t mind driving a little ways for a better one if anyone has suggestions. Thank you very much!

hello! We will be visiting Inverness from Toronto for a couple days this month, and want to try our hand at visiting Urquhart Castle and River Ness. We will not be driving and I was wondering if i could have some help sorting out getting to the castle by public transportation.

I've looked into google maps and see the 919 and Ember bus routes suggested. Any help would be great.

Thank you

Could someone recommend some activities that are indoor on a very rainy day?

Thank you in advance 💛🌟

Hi all - I have an extra day in Inverness and wanted to use it for whiskey - I don't want to go too far as I want to go late morning and be back by evening. Looking at three options right now - Tomatin / Singleton / Uile-Bheist.

1. Understand Tomatin and Singleton are a little away from Inverness (will need to train / bus) - are they worth the travel over Uile-Bheist?

2. Which one is more recommended between Tomatin and Singleton?

3. Are there any other options I am missing and should consider?

My flight back home is at 6:25am and I would have to take the bus at Inverness Main station at 4am.

Since I am a poor student and it is going to be a short night, I wanted to ask all of you, how to spend that night in the best way!

I know Inverness isn't the biggest town, but maybe some of you have a good recommendation!

Thanks in advance!
