Inverness is the capital of the Highlands and the starting point for many of Scotland's best-known trips: Loch Ness, Culloden, the Isle of Skye and the North Coast 500. Groups fly into Inverness Airport, arrive by train from the south, or start a Highland tour after a night in the city.
Distances in the Highlands look short on the map but take time, because many roads are winding, and some routes west are single track with passing places. Planning realistic driving times is the key to a good Highland trip.
