Situated in Northern Scotland, Inverness is remarkable both for its heritage and for the fact that is considered one of Europe's fastest developing cities. Long considered the capital of the Highlands, Inverness Holiday Cottages offer some of the most cost effective ways to visit the city particularly if you are travelling in a group.
The city is surrounded by some of the United Kingdom's most picturesque countryside, an aspect which is greatly enhanced by its position on the Moray Firth, an inlet of the North Sea known for it rich marine life, especially the presence of dolphins and whales.
Once an area of strategic importance to the famous Picts, the area was developed by early Celtic Monks who founded a small settlement with an idea to spreading Christianity. Although the area has survived many troubled periods of Britain's history, the city will forever be recalled for its position close to the the village of Culloden where the decisive 18th century battle was fought against the Jacobites, effectively putting an end to a bloody period of history.
Today, the city is invested with a sense of pride directly resulting from the culture and heritage of the Highlands. The country's most prominent and well attended Highland Games were held in the city in 2006. Unsurprisingly, it is also a place of significance for bagpipe players who gather for a chance of winning the Northern Meeting, a world renowned competition for solo pipers.
