What is at the other end
Inverness sits where the River Ness meets the Moray Firth, and the airport is a short run east along the A96. The city is compact — the castle, the cathedral and the riverside are all within a walk of each other — and it is the natural base for anything north or west of the Great Glen.
Who travels this route
Travellers flying direct to the Highlands rather than driving up from Edinburgh or Glasgow.
What to know before you book
Inverness Airport is small, so clearing the terminal is quick — often under ten minutes with hold luggage.
