What to expect
Expect a conversational, meandering walk through Inverness's centre with Cath steering you between key sites and stories.

You'll move at a relaxed pace suitable for all fitness levels, pausing to absorb both the visual landscape and the narratives layered beneath it. This isn't a breathless monument-ticking tour; it's a local's perspective on how blood feuds, political upheaval, and time have shaped a functioning city.
