Hotel and location:

The 4* Columba Hotel Inverness is situated on the banks of the River Ness in Britain`s most northerly city. There are plenty of places of interest to visit in Inverness itself that are within walking distance of the hotel and also within a short driving distance of the city. It is just a four minute walk across the bridge to The Inverness Museum and Gallery and 8 minutes to Inverness Cathedral. The Ness Islands are also a short walk along the riverbank and can be reached in less than 20 minutes. Guests wishing to visit the surrounding area can make a trip to the Glen Ord Whiskey Distillery which is approximately 14 miles or a 25 minutes drive away where there is a visitor`s centre and whisky shop. There are many places of British historical interest in this area including the 18th century Culloden Battlefield Site which is around a 20 minutes drive away. No visit to this part of Scotland would be complete without a visit to Loch Ness to spot the world-famous monster!
