Inverness Riverside

The river flows through the centre of the city, the water is clear and fast flowing during the winter months when the water levels are very high due to the snow thawing on the hills . On the right in the picture above, is Inverness Castle, a fine view of the city can be seen from castle hill. There is much wildlife on the river - dippers, wild ducks, swans, seals and the occasional deer. A fascinating and interesting time can be spent watching the fishermen casting their flies in the middle of the river in the summer time from one of the many seats, in sheltered places around the riverside. Many salmon are caught, daily fishing permits can be purchased from local fishing shops.
