Inverness may be smaller than Edinburgh or Glasgow, but it’s a compact, charming Highland base with surprisingly good accessibility.

Hotels range from luxury to budget, with options offering roll-in showers and other thoughtful features. Highlights include Culloden Battlefield, River Ness walks, Inverness Botanic Gardens, and accessible trips to Tomatin Distillery, the Cairngorms, and Fort George.
