FAQs for travelers

Which exchange house has the best rate to exchange foreign currency in inverness.

Since there are many options, we cannot tell the best exchange rate. Why? It depends. It is important to see the exchange rate and that changes every day. Also some currency exchange house give the best rate but they do charge you a fee, so at the end is not the best idea. We suggest you to before choosing any currency exchange house just cause its foreign exchange rate, also check if there are any extra feeds, any minimum, if they are well located, etc. With all those details in the table, you can choose the best foreign currency exchange house in Inverness.

Should I exchange currency before going to Inverness?

If you can, it would be great to get some GBP Pounds before arriving to Inverness . Check on nearby currency exchange house if they do have GBP Pounds to buy. This will help you to get to Inverness and have some cash to move around (e.g. pay taxi or give a tip) until you settle and choose where to exchange more money or use an ATM.

I am traveling from abroad, can I use foreign currency in Inverness?

The short answer is "it depends" . There are some restaurants, coffee shops, etc. that will not receive foreign currency, only GBP Pounds. An international credit card could be handy on these situations. Of course, areas related to turism or big malls and plazas receive and exchange foreign currency with no problems at all.

Is it better to withdraw money abroad at any ATM or exchange in a currency exchange kiosk?

You need to check with your bank . Some banks do not charge you any extra fee if you withdraw money in a foreign country. Other charge a huge fee. So before withdrawing any money abroad, check with your bank.

How can I exchange currency without fees or taxes?

It depends on the currency exchange house. Some charge you a fee for the service of exchanging money and others add that fee to the exchange rate. So basically you need to do the math and see if really exchanging money on a currency house makes sense for you or not.

Is it cheaper to get foreign currency at home or abroad?

Usually at home, but it also depends on the currency . If you are traveling to a small country where its currency is not worldwide available, it will be very costly to get it around (some times impossible)

Is it better to use cash or an international credit card in Inverness?

In these case, the credit card is your best friend. But also take into account, that you will need some cash. There are some expenses where cash is required.

Everything You Need to Know Before Coming to Scotland

After all, where else can you go monster hunting, explore magnificent mountains as well as the seaside, visit castles and battlefields and much more?

But if you have not been to Scotland before, you may have a few travel Scotland questions – and who better to answer them than us locals!

Can I use English Money in Scotland?

If your home country only uses one type of banknote, the variety of different notes in the UK can be quite confusing! In Scotland alone, you can find banknotes issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank! Add to that Bank of England notes and Northern Irish ones and you will ask yourself – which money can I use in Scotland?

Can I use the English money that I got at the airport? The answer is... of course you can! Our Scottish currency is the British Pound (GBP) and all notes that say “Pound Sterling” are accepted. Both Scottish and English notes are widely used in Scotland. We use the same coins in Scotland and England, so they are fine too.

One thing to bear in mind though – many notes and coins have been recently changed and updated. If you still have some of the old money left over from another holiday, it may not be accepted in shops anymore, but banks will still exchange them for new notes and coins.

Does everybody speak Gaelic in Scotland?

The Scottish accent is unique and you will find many different accent styles and sounds, some of which may be harder to understand than others! English is currently the first language in Scotland, but historically it is closely related to Gaelic, which is considered the first language of the country.

Gaelic, one of the Celtic languages, has played an important role in shaping Scotland and its linguistic landscape for centuries and is still spoken in many parts of Scotland. You will see signs and references in Gaelic during your visit, but you can usually always find an English translation.

How bad are midges? And how can I avoid them?

There are a lot of different factors for how bad the midges can be but thankfully help is at hand! See our midges blog for all you need to know about these small but annoying locals and how to avoid them.

Is Scotland Safe? (You are very safe!)

If you’re about to travel Scotland for the first time, it’s normal to ask yourself how safe it is – after all, you want to enjoy your holiday without any worries!

Scotland is an extremely safe holiday destination, especially when you spend time in the Highlands.

We have some tips for you how to be safe, as you will see it’s mostly common sense!

• As the weather in the Highlands can be very changeable, it’s advisable to come prepared and bring waterproof clothing and warm layers, even in summer.
• Leave your passports and valuables in the hotel safe if possible.
• Don’t go out into the hills and mountains if you’re inexperienced and not equipped for the outdoors – visitors have been known to try to climb Ben Nevis in shorts and flip flops and get into trouble!
• If you are going hill walking or climbing, always tell someone where you’re going.
• Don’t leave handbags and valuables in the car.
• Public transport can be few and far between at night – if you are going out for a drink or to enjoy live music, plan ahead how you will get back to your accommodation, for example book a taxi.
• In Scotland, we drive on the left and many roads are single track. Follow our advice on driving on single track roads or why not join a guided tour instead and let someone else do the driving?

What is Scottish food like?

Scotland is famous for high-quality seafood, venison and of course the famous haggis, but don't worry, these are not the only things we eat! You will find that all dietary requirements are now fully catered for and you will have no trouble finding a delicious meal, tasty lunch or sweet treat, in fact you will be spoilt for choice.

And what if the younger members of your family are a bit worried that they won’t like traditional Scottish food? Put their minds at rest. While there are plenty of restaurants serving good quality locally sourced Scottish food, you will also find all your family favourites in Inverness, from Pizza to burgers.

Does it rain ALL the time?

It is reported quite commonly that the weather can be bad in Scotland.... and yes it can be, on some days you may even experience four seasons in one day. But what you may not realise is that it is this mix of weather makes our landscapes all the more beautiful.

There is a saying "There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing", this is so true! Pack a mix of layers and if you don't have to wear your waterproof jacket then you have hit the jackpot, but whatever you do, do not let it ruin your experience, rain shouldn't stop play.

How to travel around Inverness and Loch Ness without a car?

If you are planning to explore the area on Scottish public transport, you have several options.

There are bus services to most popular visitor attractions, such as Urquhart Castle  in Drumnadrochit. For more information and timetables for all local buses, visit Traveline Scotland .

A great option to see many attractions in an easy and entertaining way is to join an organised tour. Would you like to cruise on Loch Ness and visit the Loch Ness Centre ? Or follow in the steps of Claire and Jamie on an Outlander themed tour? Or maybe you are looking for a day trip from Inverness to the Isle of Skye? Our local tour operators offer all of these tours and more!

Visit our Transport page for more information.

We hope that has answer a few of your travel Scotland questions. Enjoy your holiday in the Highlands, we are absolutely sure you will love it! For more ideas and information visit the rest of our blogs to help you plan your stay.

How to Get to Inverness: The Best Travel Routes in 2024

Posted by Francesca Brooking | Scotland | 0

Wondering how to get to Inverness, Scotland? I’ve got you covered!

Located on the Moray Firth north of the Cairngorms National Park, Inverness is the capital of the Scottish Highlands. Among its most famous neighbours is Loch Ness with its monster legends, and Culloden Moor, the site of the last battle on British soil. 

Visitors often use Inverness as a base to explore the surrounding highlands, so the city is well-connected by road and public transport. 

In this guide, we’ll look at all the best ways to get to Inverness from Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Fort William and overseas – plus, the most eco-friendly routes. 

Different ways to get to Inverness

Inverness is a well-connected city in Scotland, so there is an abundance of transport options available that suit a range of budgets and timeframes. Here’s a quick overview below: 

• By coach 
• By plane 

How to get to Inverness by train

I may be a little bit biased but I think the train is the best and most convenient way to get to Inverness. It’s also more sustainable than driving or flying. 

Whether you’re travelling up from Edinburgh , Glasgow or London, you’re treated to glorious views of the Scottish Highlands flashing past your window. Plus, the train from Glasgow or Edinburgh takes roughly the same amount of time as travelling by road. 

Most train services in Scotland are operated by ScotRail. I recommend booking your train tickets through Trainline as you can sometimes find discounted split fare prices. As always with UK trains, try and book as far in advance as you can.  

Here’s a quick look at some of the major train routes: 

How to get to Inverness from Glasgow by train

The easiest and quickest way to get to Inverness by train is from Glasgow. The fastest direct train gets you there in just under three and a half hours. Prices are, on average, a little bit cheaper than the train from Edinburgh to Inverness. 

From Glasgow Queen Street, the ScotRail services take you north via Stirling and Perth. Cities fall behind and you’re soon traversing through tiny village stations on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park , before arriving in Inverness.

There are 14 trains a day from Glasgow to Inverness. Six of them are direct trains. 

Start: Glasgow Queen Street

Duration: The fastest train from Glasgow Queen Street to Inverness takes 3 hours and 26 minutes.

Ticket price: From £13.50 one-way 

First and last trains: 07:07 and 23:10

How to get to Inverness from Edinburgh by train

The best way to get to Inverness from Edinburgh is by train as it’s convenient and takes the same amount of time as driving. 

The journey duration from Edinburgh to Inverness by train is roughly the same time as Glasgow which is unsurprising as it follows the same route from Perth. 

Boarding at Edinburgh Waverley, the direct train goes north over the Forth Bridge and then to Perth where it skims the Cairngorms and eventually reaches Inverness. 

There are around 13 trains a day running between Edinburgh and Inverness. Six of those are direct trains. 

Start: Edinburgh Waverley Station 

Duration: So, Edinburgh to Inverness by train, how long is it? Approximately 3 hours 40 minutes to 4 hours depending on if you go direct or change trains at Perth or Stirling. 

Ticket price: From £19.20 one-way 

First and last trains: 06:35 and 23:00

Inverness from London by train

Wondering how to get to Inverness from London? Getting from London to Inverness by train is easier than you might think. 

Ignore routes with complicated changes because they’re just not worth your time (unless you’re REALLY on a budget). 

There are two direct train services from London to Inverness: the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and the Caledonian Sleeper. 

The LNER trains are the quickest, running from London Kings Cross to Inverness in around eight hours. 

Services run fast to York and there are 15 stops including Newcastle and Edinburgh until you reach Inverness. There are approximately one to two direct departures a day. 

The Caledonian Sleeper is an overnight train to Inverness. It’s a luxury train experience with beds and more affordable seats. 

The sleeper train to Inverness departs from London Euston at around 21:00 and runs 11 and a half hours through the night. 

The service operates once a day from Sunday to Friday. To find out more about what the Caledonian Sleeper is like, read my full review. 

Start: London Kings Cross (LNER), London Euston (Caledonian Sleeper) 

Duration: The LNER takes 8 hours and the Caledonian Sleeper takes 11.32 hours. 

Ticket price: From around £54 one way for LNER, Caledonian Sleeper seat prices start from £55 one way. 

First and last trains: 12:00  (LNER), 21:13 (Caledonian Sleeper)

How to get to Inverness by car 

Inverness is well-connected by road and it’s the easiest option if you’re not travelling from major cities like Edinburgh or Glasgow. 

Fort William, for example, is just under two hours drive away and it’s a scenic route via Loch Ness. 

You don’t need to bring your own vehicle to drive around Scotland. There are rideshare apps like BlaBlaCar which allow you to share the route with other passengers (sort of like a self-driving Uber). It’s a more eco-friendly way to drive too. 

Alternatively, you could hire a campervan or car and pick it up in Scotland. I recommend checking out Rentalcars.com to compare prices. 

Inverness from Edinburgh by car 

Driving from Edinburgh to Inverness pretty much follows the same route as the train. The quickest route is straight up the M90 to Perth and then up the A9 around the edge of the Cairngorms to Inverness. 

The distance between Edinburgh and Inverness is 156.2 miles in total. 

Duration: It takes between 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes depending on traffic. 

Inverness from Glasgow by car 

Similar to the Glasgow to Inverness train, the quickest route to drive from Glasgow is via Stirling and Perth. 

For directions to Inverness, follow the M80 to Stirling and then the A9 in Perth. The journey is 168 miles in total. 

Duration: It takes between 3 hours to 3 hours and 40 minutes depending on traffic. 

Inverness from Fort William by car 

Fort William is regarded as the Outdoor Capital of Scotland. It’s the home of Ben Nevis (the tallest mountain in the UK) and famous landmarks including Glenfinnan Viaduct and Glencoe are right on its doorstep. 

The Fort William to Inverness route is a popular one to drive as it has highlights including Fort Augustus, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. The quickest route is 66.2 miles, just under two hours along the A82. 

Duration: It takes around 1 hour 50 minutes depending on the traffic 

Coaches and buses to Inverness 

The roads may reach more places than the railway in Scotland but you don’t need your own car to get around. Public buses and coaches, including Inverness, serve many routes. 

If you’re also visiting Inverness without a car , there is an extensive bus network which can take you to the major sites in the area like Culloden Battlefield.

Coaches are also a good backup option in case there’s an issue with the trains like strikes or engineering works. Don’t wait to book coach tickets as the best routes get booked up in advance. 

Inverness from Edinburgh by coach 

The Edinburgh to Inverness bus route is served by Megabus and the journey takes roughly the same amount of time as driving. M90 is the quickest direct route. 

Alternatively, you might get the M91 followed by the M10A bus from Edinburgh to Inverness. 

Start: Edinburgh Bus Station 

Duration: The journey takes between 3 hours 35 minutes and 4 hours 20 minutes 

Ticket price: From £9.30 one-way

First and last coach: 8:00 and 19:55

Inverness from Glasgow coach 

Megabus M10A is your fastest direct coach from Glasgow to Inverness at just over three and a half hours. 

Alternatively, you might get the Megabus M9 to Perth and then pick up the Megabus M90 to Inverness. It takes the same amount of time as the direct coach. 

Start: Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station 

Duration: It takes from 3 hours 38 minutes to 4 hours 38 minutes to get from Glasgow to Inverness by coach. 

Ticket price: From £12.20 one-way 

First and last coach: 6:20 and 19:40

Inverness to Fort William by coach

The Scottish Citylink 919 coach will take you directly from Fort William Bus Station to Inverness. The journey is just over two hours and you pass alongside Loch Ness. 

Start: Fort William Bus Station 

Duration: It takes approximately 2 hours and 11 minutes. 

Ticket price: From £12.30 one-way 

First and last bus: 07:30 and 20:17 (always check before departure)

A quick note on buses in Scotland: Most buses that connect you to cities are coaches, operated by companies like Megabus and Citylink. Smaller, public buses run within cities and around towns. 

Guided tours to Inverness 

Visiting Inverness by guided tour is a great way to get an in-depth understanding of the culture and history of the area. Your transport is included too. 

Two factors to note about guided tours are you’ll be travelling with other people (unless you go private) and there isn’t much flexibility on your itinerary. 

Some popular guided tours to Inverness include: 

• Loch Ness, Inverness and Highlands 2-Day Tour from Edinburgh – Starting from Edinburgh, this relaxed tour covers the best of the Scottish Highlands. You’ll see Glencoe, Fort William, Ben Nevis, Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Inverness and Dalwhinni Distillery. 
• Inverness and The Highlands 2-Day Tour from Edinburgh – This tour includes Glenfinnan Viaduct, Loch Shiel, Doune Castle, Ben Nevis, Glencoe, Culloden Moor, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle and Inverness. 
• Loch Ness, Glencoe & The Highlands Day Trip from Edinburgh – If you don’t have two days to spare, this day tour takes you through the Scottish Highlands to Invernesshire. You don’t stop IN Inverness, but you get to explore Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle with an optional cruise. 

If you’re wondering how to get from Inverness to Loch Ness or how long to spend in Inverness, read my full three-day Inverness itinerary to plan your trip. 

Cycling to Inverness

Scotland has a National Cycle Network which runs 1,643 miles all over the country. Of that, 702 miles are traffic-free routes. 

If you want to cycle to Inverness, I recommend checking out this network as it gives you the most comprehensive, scenic and safest routes to travel.

Here are a few cycling routes to Inverness from popular towns and cities: 

• Glasgow to Inverness via the Lochs and Glens Way (214 miles)
• Fort William to Inverness via the Caledonia Way (234 miles)
• Aberdeen to Inverness via the National Route 1 (1264 miles) 

What about Edinburgh? I couldn’t find a National Cycle Network Route from Edinburgh to Inverness. However, Wilderness Scotland has put together a cycle route. 

It starts from Inverness but you only need to reverse it to get an idea of the itinerary. 

As you can see, these routes are long and they would take a few days to complete. Cycling to Inverness would be the holiday itself!

Flights to Inverness 

Inverness has the only international airport in the Scottish Highlands so it’s handy if you’re coming from overseas. Having said that, it only serves a handful (if that!) of international destinations with direct flights. 

If you’re arriving in the UK, you might fly to London or Birmingham in England and then get a connecting flight to Inverness. 

Currently, there are no direct flights from Edinburgh or Glasgow to Inverness which makes sense as the route is easily accessible overland. 

How to get from Inverness Airport to Inverness: 

• 18 minutes by car – 9.4 miles via the A96
• 28 minutes by ScotRail train – runs approximately every 50 minutes 
• 40 minutes by 11 bus – runs approximately every hour 
• 56 minutes by 27 bus – runs approximately every 30 minutes 

Where to stay in Inverness

Bazpackers Hostel 

Bazpackers is a cosy hostel about a 10-minute walk from the train station. It has a small but well-equipped kitchen and a lounge area with a fireplace and garden. 

The dormitories have bunk beds with a curtain (I always prefer this for privacy!). I stayed here on my visit to Inverness and found it more than comfortable. 

Other great options include: 

• Culliss House B&B (a cosy B&B in Inverness)
• Heathmount Hotel 
• Kingsmills Hotel (has a pool!)
• Black Isle Bar & Rooms (great pizza!)

Final thoughts on how to get to Inverness 

I hope you found this quick guide on how to get to Inverness useful! As you can see it’s a city that’s well connected by different transport options so you should find it easy to get to. 

The best way to get to Inverness in terms of practicality and sustainability is by train. You can relax, enjoy the view and get there in the same amount of time as by road. If you’re cycling, there are carriages to store your bikes too.
