There is really no better place to explore the beauty of the Scottish Highlands from than Inverness and it is the perfect site for Scottish hotel breaks. Surrounded by some of the most breathtaking landscapes imaginable and within easy driving distance of the world-famous Loch Ness - home of the iconic monster - Inverness has plenty to see and do no matter what you are hoping to experience on your city break. Well worth a look is Inverness Castle, a relatively modern building having been built in 1835, but one situated on a site of historical significance. Popular local legend claims that a castle originally built on the site was torn down by one of the Scottish kings, after his father Duncan was murdered there. Those who know their Shakespeare will recognise this tale as the foundation of one of the Bard's most famous plays, Macbeth, in which a man hungry for power and led by three witches to believe he will one day be king decides to kill the poor Duncan. In fact, during your visit you may wish to keep an eye out for the doomed king, who is said to haunt there dressed in his full royal attire. Inverness has plenty more places of interest to visit and the streets themselves are steeped in history and lined with beautiful old stone houses. But for something completely different, you could head to Floral Hall, where a spectacular greenhouse structure shelters countless sub-tropical plants. A must for any gardening fanatics, it is also the perfect place to take the kids, who are sure to have fun watching the cascading waterfall and pool of koi carp, while the whole family can relax after their trip by visiting the on-site coffee shop. There is also plenty to do for sports fans, with three golf courses located near-by, while the city has plenty of boutiques and shops to keep fashion fans busy.
