Hotels Great Glen Way Inverness
Inverness Castle is the eastern terminus of the Great Glen Way, a hiking path stretching 73 miles (117 km) from Fort William to Inverness. It is one of the national long distance walking routes and follows the fault line of the Great Glen and the Caledonian Canal that links the lochs in it: Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness. The terrain is varied and covers moorland, forests and open countryside. Although flat when following the canal, it also has some steep ascents. Highlights to be seen along the way include Ben Nevis, Neptunes Staircase (a set of eight locks), Bridge of Oich and Urquhart Castle. The route is well marked with distinctive blue timber posts or blue panels on buildings. There are also interpretive panels along the way at points of interest. There are hotels and bars on the route, and bag carrying companies to transport your luggage. It is not for the casual walker and those embarking on the path are warned to be well equipped

Hotels River Ness Inverness
The River Ness is a 5 mile long Scottish river which begins at Loch Ness, the second largest loch in Scotland, and ends at the city of Inverness, where it meets the Moray Firth. The river is a popular fishing spot, known for high quality salmon and brown trout. Permits are required in order to fish the River Ness. Fishing seasons generally start in mid-January and end mid-October. Car parks are available at several locations close to the river. Several bridges exist over the River Ness, some of particular interest, such as the Ness Bridge between the High Street and the A82 to Fort William, which has existed in some form since the 11th century.
