15th August 2019
Inverness is a city on Scotland’s northeast coast, where the River Ness meets the Moray Firth. It's the largest city and the cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands. Its Old Town features 19th-century Inverness Cathedral, the mostly 18th-century Old High Church and an indoor Victorian Market selling food, clothing and crafts. The contemporary Inverness Museum and Art Gallery traces local and Highland history.
Our berth for Inverness is at Invergordon.
Another cloudy/sunny day temperatures around 15
One other cruise ship at a nearby berth, the Holland and America Rotterdam. She being berthed at the longest pier running out into the firth, you’d need a bus just to get ashore!
From our berth just a nice little walk into town, seems nice here. The town’s shops looked to be doing good business selling to the cruise passengers, strangely even the charity shops.
We resisted and wandered along the street appreciating all the murals painted on the gable ends of the buildings, quite a show.
We did go to look at the local craft show in the Invergordon museum. We made the same visit last time we were in town, bit of deja-vu here. Very nice local made jewellery, wood carvings and tartans.
Back on board in time for the Folkloric show in the theatre. Scottish dancers, singers and a piper, all very good.
Dinner this evening in the main dining room, need to turn up occasionally just so they remember us.
