Why choose Inverness for your road trip

Inverness — a city worth exploring

Inverness sits at the north-eastern tip of the Great Glen, where the River Ness flows into the Moray Firth — the only city in the Scottish Highlands and the gateway to Loch Ness, just 15 km to the south-west. The city's Victorian Market, built in 1870, still trades beneath its original iron-and-glass roof, offering local crafts and Highland produce. Inverness Castle, perched above the river, is being transformed into a major visitor attraction celebrating Highland heritage. You can stroll along the Ness Islands, a chain of wooded islands linked by Victorian suspension bridges in the heart of the city, or visit the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery to explore centuries of Highland culture. For a day out, the Clava Cairns — a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age cemetery — lie only 10 km east, while the Culloden Battlefield, where the last pitched battle on British soil took place in 1746, is just 8 km to the east. The surrounding landscape is ideal for touring by campervan or motorhome, with single-track roads winding through glens and along the coast. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners across the Highlands, giving you the flexibility to collect your vehicle nearby and set off on your own schedule. Whether you are heading north along the coast or south through the Cairngorms, Inverness is a natural starting point for an unforgettable road trip.

Best time to visit

Inverness enjoys long daylight hours from May to September, making it the prime window for exploring the Highlands by campervan. The Inverness Highland Games take place each July, with caber tossing and pipe bands in Bught Park, while the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival in early August draws music lovers to a woodland estate just west of the city. Book your Yescapa motorhome early for July and August — it is the most popular season and local owners' vehicles are in high demand. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads and golden landscapes, perfect for a more relaxed pace. Whenever you visit, Inverness rewards you with something special.

Where to park your motorhome

Parking a larger vehicle in Inverness requires a little planning. The city centre has height barriers on several multi-storey car parks, so look for open-air options.
