Inverness is a charming and very walkable city of about 50,000 people in northern Scotland. It is positioned at the end of the 12-mile journey of the River Ness from Loch Ness. The Gaelic name, Inbhir Nis, translates into “Mouth of the River Ness.” The town occupies both river banks connected by three bridges: the Ness Bridge (foreground), the Greig Street Footbridge (middle) and the Friars Bridge (background).
