Out in nature

Here in Inverness, we are so lucky to be surrounded by Scotland’s spectacular natural beauty. You don’t have to venture far to reach the majestic mountains, shady glens, glittering lochs and abundant wildlife of the Scottish Highlands. There are plenty of local walks with varying degrees of difficulty, which will get you out in the fresh air. Meander along the banks of the River Ness and along the Caledonian Canal. Gaze into the Moray Firth and look out for dolphins. Enjoy stunning views of Loch Ness on the Great Glen Way or South Loch Ness Trail. If you’ve got a few days and enjoy a challenge, you may even decide to complete the Loch Ness 360° – a long-distance circuit route around the whole of Loch Ness. Keen photographers and Scottish wildlife lovers may also enjoy camera stalking. Out in the Highlands, learn how to quietly stalk your animal subject, so you can take the perfect picture.

On yer bike

Cycling is a lovely, peaceful way to explore the Highlands. Ticket To Ride bike hire is based close by in Inverness city centre. Here, you can hire road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes, even a tandem bike, plus all your cycling equipment. They also have kids’ bikes and child seats, so the whole family can get involved. You could follow one of their recommended cycle routes or do your own thing. Alternatively, adult-only groups might like to join Inverness Bike Tours for a guided cycle tour of the city with bike and helmet hire included.

Water wellness

Discover the perfect wellness holiday in the Scottish Highlands, surrounded by hundreds of lochs near Inverness and Loch Ness. These are great for wild swimming and water wellness. Why not try paddle sports such as paddleboarding, canoeing or kayaking? There are so many opportunities to relax, reconnect with nature and feel refreshed on a wellness holiday to the Scottish Highlands.

Let off steam

Get the blood pumping with some fun-filled outdoor adventures. This is a great way to release tension and improve your mood. Take a thrilling high-speed boat tour with The Beastie Boats. Enjoy a wide range of paddle sport activities, such as canoeing, kayaking, with Explore Highland. Or, take to the slopes of the nearby Cairngorm Mountains for some exhilarating skiing and snowboarding.

The night sky

On your wellness holiday at the Kingsmills Hotel, don’t miss out on the incredible stargazing opportunities in the Scottish Highlands. Between October and March, you can join astronomer Stephen Mackintosh for a special experience right from our hotel. Away from city lights, you’ll get to see the stars like never before, in small groups of up to 13 guests. It’s a chance to relax and see the beauty of the night sky. During your stay with us, you might even get the chance to see the Northern Lights. The Northern Highlands share a similar latitude with parts of Norway and Sweden, giving you a good shot at spotting the Aurora Borealis. While sightings aren’t guaranteed, the end of winter brings better conditions for catching a glimpse of this natural phenomenon.

Hooked on fishing

Fishing is a notoriously relaxing activity. Seasoned local fishers will have their favourite spots to find salmon, trout, pike and other fish. But if you’re more of a beginner, or unfamiliar with the area, Alba Fishing, offer guided fly fishing trips for all levels.
