Inbhir Nis on Abhainn Nis (Inverness on the River Ness)

We went up to Inverness by train today.

This video was taken from the foot bridge over the River Ness near the City Centre. The river runs between Loch Ness / Caledonian Canal and the Moray Firth.


Interesting side note- when we picked up a city map at the information center it was not in English. Inverness is a bit of a Gaelic stronghold (hence the title of this entry). Obviously we managed, but it was interesting.

So far we have seen a Free Church of Scotland in Kingussie, Ft. William and Inverness.
