Inverness cruise port guide
The Scottish Highlands are home to famous battles, historic castles and to an even more famous legendary sea monster: Nessie of Loch Ness. Explore Inverness' picturesque riverside on foot. You'll pass by the 18th-century Old High Church and the Castle of Inverness, built of red sandstone in 1863 on the site of an 11th-century fortress. Join a Loch Ness cruise to explore Culloden Battlefield, a windswept moor where the Jacobite's last stand took place in the 1760s. Seeking even deeper roots? See a 4,000-year-old burial site built by neolithic farmers at the Clava Cairns. Before you depart, toast your adventure with a wee dram of single-malt Scotch whisky, savoring its distinctive peaty aromas.
About Inverness
The Port of Inverness is a sheltered natural harbour at the mouth of the River Ness, owned and operated by Inverness Harbour Trust. It can accommodate smaller cruise vessels, though larger cruise liners typically call at Invergordon, a deep-water port on the Cromarty Firth approximately 24 miles away that allows docking without tenders. The port sits at the heart of Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, with direct access to the A9 road and the national rail network.
