Vacation rentals in Inverness

We will collect you both from your accommodation and take you to a beautiful and secret location near Loch Ness with celtic rings and altar where dressed in traditional Scottish dress I will explain this full celtic ritual of handfasting. After the traditional gaelic introduction the rest of the ceremony will be in english and I will join your hands together and you will repeat the old vows of binding from long ago. You will be offered the chance to recite your own vows after this if you wish. After the ceremony you can relax with your loved one and a romantic and decadent Scottish gourmet picnic and drinks complete with fire, rugs, blankets, crockery etc. We will then return you to your selected inverness destination. Other things to note This is not a legally binding ceremony and available for lovers, married couples, same sex and mixed sex couples alike.

We'll leave Inverness, along the alternative side of Loch Ness, taking in the spectacular views before we hike through the woods of Foyers, taking in the spectacular waterfalls before continuing down to shores of Loch Ness itself. The walk has a descent of about 200 meters and as we return the same way, you will need a fair degree of fitness to make it back up. The hidden path we take from here, ends as we make it to the shore of Loch Ness, away from the crowds on the other side! We'll stay for a while, taking in the calmness of this special place before heading up the loch to Dores where we will take another short walk along the pebble beach to afford you a magnificent perspective of the great glen fault that Loch Ness is part of. Before we finish up, we will take a short trip up to 4000 year old burial chambers of Clava, (Clava Cairns), where you can drink in the history and atmosphere of these ancient monuments! All in all, this is a lovely day out to one of the most famous Lochs in the world while enjoying it on the road less traveled! Other things to note We will be travelling along a narrow road with lots of twists and turns, ups & downs, & while I will always drive with care, you should be a good car traveler. After our hike to Loch Ness, we will stop at a local cafe for some home baking and tea/coffee. Please let me know of any dietary needs

In this AirBnB Experience you will get to know Inverness in a new light. We will meet at Falcon Square, right in the centre of the city and will jump straight into two hours of stories of the Highlands. The tour will include all the information you might expect from a classic walking tour and just so much more. Story-telling has always been important for communities, we already see evidence of that in the iron ages. You might have heard of Inverness' connection to Shakespeare's Macbeth, however, there are so many more stories that need telling. From Falcon Square onwards it will be short walks from one Inverness sight to the next, in between which I will tell you where the name Inverness originates from, teach you a couple of words of Gaelic and tell the stories worth telling. The tour is constructed in a way that there will be no long and silent walks. Instead we will stop every couple of minutes at places that are either a must-see or just a personal favourite of mine. You will fall in love with the Victorian Market dog, see Macbeth in a new light and be surprised by the prophecies of the Brahan Seer. We will end at Falcon Square from where I can show you to great places for a dram of Whisky, or some lunch or afternoon tea (price for food not included in tour). I can't wait to meet you! Message me if you would like another time or to take the tour in German.

We welcome you with drinks and a roaring fire in our croft home lounge with stunning views! After a wee chat and getting to know each other we can sit in our dining room ( or outdoor eating area weather permitting where we will enjoy a delicious 3 course meal using our amazing local suppliers and artisan producers. After dinner/lunch you will be regaled with stories of Scottish life and culture around our outdoor firepit or indoor fire ( again weather permitting). There is often scottish folk music if there has been enough whisky tasting!! And you can leave when you're ready! Transport to and from our croft can be arranged if required. Other things to note Let us know if you need transport and if you have any special dietary requirements!

This is a chance to experience a sunset high up at the old hill fort known as Craig Phadrig above the Beauly Firth. It’s an evening start as we need to meet up and drive the short distance to the area and climb to the top for the sunset - but it will all be worth it! At the location I will help in you getting the best from your camera and ensure you take some super sunset shots, we'l then have a picnic of shortbread and coffee. The walk is around 1.5 hours there and back with time at the top it's normally 2 hours covering around 3km with a short ascent to the top. But we take it at your pace and with incredible scenery we stop for plenty of photos as we catch our breath on the way up! You do need to be prepared for windy and chilly weather, even in summer and it may mean that our picnic is a speedy one, or we have it lower down the hill once we have seen the sunset. In the case of rain we may not be able to see a sunset, but the tour will still go ahead as it's still a great walk! Other things to note Guests need to have a moderate level of fitness and the ability to walk a hilly 3 miles. Please ONLY consider this tour if your health allows for this kind of activity.
