Inverness, commonly referred to as being the capital of the Highlands of Scotland, was ceremoniously granted city status in two thousand and one and is currently the only Highland city. Uniquely (in the United Kingdom) the city has no statutory boundaries which can cause problems with population statistics. The problems are made worse because the city's population is increasing dramatically, Inverness has the highest growth rate for any city in the UK. One certainty we know of is that Inverness has a very happy population, in 2008 the Telegraph took a survey of the quality of life in 189 cities in the United Kingdom and the city of Inverness was ranked fifth. Therefore, I think we can state that Inverness is a beautiful place in which to live and this is most likely one of the facts which make Inverness incredibly popular with tourists. Crucially there is plenty of Inverness bed & breakfasts with the majority of it being bookable online.
Inverness is also often referred to as the gateway to the Highlands of Scotland for the clear fact that it is the best place to make the most of the Highland public transport system and a large number of tourist attractions are relatively easy to reach. Possibly the best way to reach them is by going on an organized bus tour or day trip. There are a few organizations visiting places such as, Loch Ness, Urquart Castle or Culloden or for the adventurous visitor you can to visit Orkney and John O'Groats on a days round trip. It is also possible to go on a small selection of city tours, such as those run by City Sightseeing.
A small percentage of tourists decide to stay in 2 towns or cities in the Highlands such as Fort William & Inverness. Fort William is most popular with people who enjoy sports especially mountaineers, hill walkers and ramblers who get their thrills going to the top of Ben Nevis which looks down upon the town. In a similar way bed and breakfast accommodation in Fort William and like most Scotland bed and breakfast it is often cheap, good value for money and incredibly tidy, clean and comfortable with world class hospitality.
One important fact you should remember is that the nearest airport to Inverness is, near enough, 7 miles to the east at Dalcross. You can catch a bus or hail a cab to the small but busy airport which is not too expensive. If you will benefit from using a map of the area then you can get them for free at the tourist office, on Castle Wynd in the town center. While you are staying in the city you should make a mental note to visit Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, Inverness Castle, the Mercat Cross and 'stone of tubs' especially the Castle Garrison Encounter, an enjoyable interactive experience.
