Inverness at Night

When I was in Inverness a few weeks ago with my son Gaz we stayed at the Glenmorriston Hotel on the bank of the River Ness. I used to stay there years ago when it was far less "upmarket" than it is now. There were no Singapore Sling cocktails available 'back in those days'. After an excellent dinner Gaz and I decided to take advantage of the very cold, crisp late evening air and go for a walk along the river or, to be more accurate, along one bank and back along the other.

Looking back towards the hotel (not in view) and the Castle. The old Highland and Islands Development Board offices between the camera and the Castle are now luxury apartments
The road bridge from the town centre towards Loch Ness and Fort William
There are a lot of churches on the river's banks
One of several footbridges

Leakey's Bookshop and Café, Inverness

One of my favourite places for a drink and something to eat is Leakey's.  It is not only convivial and friendly with good coffee and food but is also a wonderful place to browse:
