Overview

Kilts, bagpipes, Gaelic, clans and hot Jacobites (I'm looking at you, Jamie Fraser) - so many of our Scottish stereotypes come from the Highlands. Inverness has always been the capital of the Highlands, the gateway between the Highland and Lowland communities. Yet Inverness has a complicated relationship with its Highland heritage. On this tour, you will delve into that relationship through ancient legends, invented traditions and a battle about a cheese. This audio tour takes you on a 3km walk around the highlights of the town. It takes an hour without stopping but you can pause the tour whenever you choose. The audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Itinerary

Abertarff House (Pass By)

Abertarff House is the oldest non-religious building in Inverness, dating back to 1593. It's a townhouse that belonged to the Frasers of Lovat.
Inverness Cathedral (Pass By)

Inverness Cathedral is the northernmost cathedral in mainland Britain. The building was completed in 1869 but it remains 'unfinished'. They ran out of money and weren't able to build two tall spires. They had to make do with truncated towers instead.
Eden Court Theatre (Pass By)

Eden Court is the only major arts centre in the Highlands, with a cinema and two theatres. The building includes what used to be the bishop's house. This house was built by Bishop Robert Eden and so the arts centre is named Eden Court.
Inverness Castle Experience (Pass By)

Inverness Castle is relatively modern, dating to 1834. The building is now a court of law. There is a viewing platform that you can go up to after the tour.
Flora MacDonald Statue (Pass By)

Flora MacDonald famously helped Bonnie Prince Charlie escape Scotland 'over the sea to Skye' after the failure of the Jacobite rising. This statue was erected in 1896.
