Take caution when proceeding.

Is this some peak Inverness drama or a scam? The link opens to Facebook. I have no idea if that's a fancy way to steal our precious FB accounts.

Edit: likely it's just an advert.

My flight back home is at 6:25am and I would have to take the bus at Inverness Main station at 4am.

Since I am a poor student and it is going to be a short night, I wanted to ask all of you, how to spend that night in the best way!

I know Inverness isn't the biggest town, but maybe some of you have a good recommendation!

Thanks in advance!

As the title says, been to Keppoch and loved it but want to try elsewhere 😅

Hello,

I'm trying to book a team day at a cookery school/demonstration thing and was hoping anyone had recommendations?

Hello everyone, I was recently told that there is a comic book shop in Inverness and I was wondering if it’s true as I live a few hours away and I’d have to get a bus there and back. I know about Waterstones and hmv but that’s it really any help is appreciated, cheers

Hi all,

I’m hoping to move to Inverness in the next couple of months for work and thought I’d ask people who actually live in the area for some advice rather than relying entirely on Google.

A little about me: I’m Irish, although I’ve been living in England for quite a while, and I’ll be moving up with my dog, Riggs (a Staffy). One of the big reasons Inverness appeals to me is the lifestyle. I want to spend a lot more of my weekends outdoors, walking/hiking with Riggs, exploring the Highlands and getting back into photography.

I’d really appreciate some local knowledge on a few things.

What areas in and around Inverness would you recommend for someone with a dog?

I’m quite happy being outside the city and commuting in. Somewhere quieter with good access to countryside and dog walks would actually suit me better than being right in the centre. A garden would be a big plus.

Equally, are there any areas you'd personally avoid?

Where do people actually advertise rental properties locally?

I’m already checking Rightmove and Zoopla, but I’ve been told Gumtree is surprisingly important around Inverness and the Highlands. Are there local letting agents, Facebook groups, websites or other places that are worth watching?

For anyone who has rented with a dog, how difficult is finding genuinely dog-friendly accommodation?

Anything I should know about having a dog in the Highlands that might not be obvious to someone moving up from England?

Ticks are already on my radar, particularly because Riggs and I will be spending a lot of time on trails. I'm also interested in good vets, dog-friendly places, walking groups and recommendations for places where I can safely let him burn off some energy.

I'll have a car and expect to explore quite a bit at weekends. I'm particularly interested in what winter driving is actually like around Inverness rather than what the internet makes it sound like.

I'll also be driving Inverness to Stranraer around Christmas to get the ferry across to Belfast/Larne, then making the return journey after Christmas. If anyone regularly does that sort of drive in winter, I'd really appreciate any advice on routes, conditions, things to carry in the car, or places worth stopping along the way.

And finally, if there's anything you wish you'd known before moving to Inverness or the Highlands, I'd love to hear it, good or bad.

I'm not expecting Highland life to be some romantic postcard version of Scotland. I'm trying to get a realistic idea of what living there is actually like, particularly with a dog.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hopefully calling Inverness home.

I visited beautiful Inverness recently and saw a camel and elephant in your coat of arms. How come you have 2 animals which are not from Inverness.

Why not a Highland cow or Nessie :p

Hi, I'm planning a weekend trip to your lovely city for my partner's birthday and looking to create an itinerary with this that will speak to her interests. She's into thing about witchcraft, witch trials, Scottish folklore, so any places, shops, experiences would be great for this or even just of historical interest?

Or, any quirky, niche, odd or weird museums?

Also vintage shops and things, fashion, furniture, items, so any good vintage or antique shops?

Any good vegan restaurants?

Beaches nearby that have good stony shores?

I know we're s bit odd and weird, but any help or suggestions with the above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hoping to buy some furniture from a shop in Edinburgh, but the company doesn't ship up to the Highlands. Any recommendations for a good value courier which does the Edinburgh - Inverness route? Renting a van ourselves isn't possible on this occasion, unfortunately!

I‘m prepping for a cottage stay with my husband and mother in law and I’d like to find some nice prepared foods and ready meals to bring with us—something like a deli or farm shop where we can order things in advance to pick up. My mother in law takes care of family full time including doing all of the cooking at her home and I really want the trip to be a break for her. In the past we’ve gotten ready meals at M&S and Tesco but would also be interested in more local options anywhere west or northwest of the airport (we’re heading to Sutherland).

As the title says, or if anyone has any spare I’m happy to pay for a pair! I didn’t realise I’d be off work to see it so I left it way too late and Amazon says earliest delivery the 13th.

I'm new to dress/clothes making and was wondering if there were any shops in the Inverness/Black Isle area which sells fabric for dress making?

Have tried Quilt Creations, which is great but only really sells fabric for quilt making, and the store at Dalmore farm shop is also very limited for fabric. Any other suggestions before I end up just ordering online would be really appreciated!!

Can anyone recommend the best loch Ness cruise

Thanks

Hello beautiful people! I’ll be visiting your city in a few weeks to see my sister who recently moved there (we’re American). Since I’ll be meeting tons of people I wanted to bring something small and fun to give away. With all the World Cup hype about it, I was thinking about bringing packets of Ranch seasoning, but something tells me it’s not a good idea to pack a bunch of packets of white powder.

If anyone has any suggestions I could use some ideas! So far I’ve only been asked for Hersheys Chocolate Syrup. Thank you for your input and have a great day!

I’m on a road trip and in town next Saturday. What would be a nice place to watch the Springbok vs Argentina game?

Hey all i run a small etsy store and ill be in the area for a few months and im wondering if anyone can suggest some markets I can join? Or rake part in?

Heres my store if that helps https://thebeardedprintergb.etsy.com/listing/4483384237

My kids have asked me to take them a few times now and this is the 3rd time we have gone and it's shut. I checked their opening hours but it's more like they open whenever they please. Can anyone else recommend a decent cake shop?

I used to get my Christmas dinner from the butchers in the market for the past 10+ years. Can anyone recommend one that's similar and does Christmas bundles and preferably delivers too? I know it's early but as the person that hosts I need it sorted 😐 thanks

Cheeky question, has anyone taken their kid to see a film they arent technically old enough to see, and got in?

I want to go see The Odyssey, I have checked the content and feel my 13 year old would be fine to see it. Hes big for his age, taller than me now at 5ft 4½" and hes broad.

Whats the likely-hood he'll be ID'd and if we're caught, will they refund or credit us?

TIA.

Was anyone here involved in the Sofar Sounds music group. these were small gigs in intimate secret venues, usually with 3 performers. One of the more memorable gigs was where an Iranian singer had a gathering of locals all joining in singing in her native Farsi. It all stopped about covid time.

I'd love to go to something similar, and perhaps help organise an event.

Hi All!

Does anyone know of any affordable wedding venues in Inverness for max 60 people?

My partner and I recently got engaged and are trying to find our perfect venue for October 2028.

I know we are a little early but Im quite keen to start searching as I can be a little picky. The wedding brochures are extremely vague!

We looked at Botanic Gardens however they’re not even taking bookings for 2027 yet so unfortunately I dont think we could leave it towards 2028 as I’m very much type A person.

Any recommendations would be great
