    Inverness General information Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands acts as the hub for transport, administration and economic links in the north of Scotland. One of the fastest growing cities in Europe it is well provisioned with retail, healthcare and industrial sectors plus a booming tourist trade. Within minutes of leaving the city it is possible to be surrounded by wide-open spaces and stunning scenery – most notably Loch Ness, which at around 23 miles long holds more fresh water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined. The River Ness that flows out from Loch Ness winds through the heart of the city, providing tranquil riverside walks along its banks and Ness Islands. Transport links Inverness’s connections to the rest of the UK, Europe and beyond are strong, with daily flights from the airport to London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Manchester, Dublin and Amsterdam. Regular rail services serve Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow, plus the Caledonian Sleeper runs overnight to London Euston six times per week. By road it is 2.5 hours to Aberdeen, and access to the UK motorway network via Perth can be made in under 3 hours. Travel times to Highland mountain regions – and their winter ski resorts – are also brief with Aviemore and the Cairngorms under an hour to the south-east and Ben Nevis just 70 miles to the south-east. Ullapool and the West Coast can be reached in just over an hour. Inverness Airport The location of Inverness Airport 9 miles to the east of the city makes it ideally positioned for commuting in from the wider area.

Things to do Make an itinerary How to get there Choosing accommodation Food and drink Discounts and saving money Safety tips Where are the Highlands? The Highlands is the area north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault (from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast stretching across to Stonehaven in the east). It is the uppermost part of Scotland (made up of six smaller regions) and home to famous attractions such as Ben Nevis and Loch Ness, towns (notably Fort William, Nairn and Aviemore) and the “City of the Highlands” - Inverness. Traditionally visitors wishing to experience the beautiful Scottish outdoors will travel to the Highlands to visit the scenic lochs, tall snow capped, mountains, vast glens, ancient monuments as well as the beaches and bays along North Scotland’s iconic coastline. Seals, puffins, whales and dolphins are often spotted on these shores. You may want to try to catch a glimpse of the infamous Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights), walk amongst the The Highlands varied wildlife and flora or appreciate the breath-taking Scottish landscapes as part of your Highland experience. Or visit historic towns and villages for sightseeing, fine and traditional dining, shopping and a taste of Highland life.

  • Stronger Together
    Stronger Together Prosperity for Aberdeen 2017-2022 Aberdeen City Council Conservative and Unionist Party, Aberdeen Labour and Independent Alliance Group Programme for Aberdeen City Council 2017-2022 Our Vision As a returning coalition, we intend to build on what we have already put in place between 2012 and 2017. The Council’s strategic business plan refresh, approved unanimously at the Council’s Budget meeting in February 2017, agreed the alignment of the Strategic Business Plan to Aberdeen City Community Planning Partnership’s Local Outcome Improvement Plan, as well as alignment to the coalition’s policy document “Smarter Aberdeen”. Our new policy document “Stronger Together” for 2017 to 2022 builds on the 2017-2018 strategic business plan, thereby ensuring the continuity of the priorities we set in our last administration whilst incorporating some new priorities which are a direct response to the changing economic and social conditions the City now faces. We recognise, of course, that our priorities must be delivered within the financial parameters agreed by the Council at the Budget meeting in February 2017. Aberdeen has been the northern powerhouse of both the UK and Scottish economy in recent times, but the fall in the global oil price has seen Aberdeen’s economic contribution reduce. We know the strength of the City’s business community and we commit to working with the business community and all relevant public partners in order to ensure the conditions for future business success are in place within the City. To unlock the economic potential of Aberdeen and reduce inequalities in our city, we see greater devolution of powers to the City from the Scottish government, and where applicable the UK government as a key requirement.

    transport guide FOREWORD The Moray Forum is a constituted voluntary organisation that was established to provide a direct link between the Area Forums and the Moray Community Planning Partnership. The Forum is made up of two representatives of each of the Area Forums and meets on a regular basis. Further information about The Moray Forum is available on: www.yourmoray.org.uk Area Forums are recognised by the Moray Community Planning Partnership as an important means of engaging local people in the Community Planning process. In rural areas - such as Moray - transport is a major consideration, so in September 2011 the Moray Forum held its first transport seminar to look at the issues and concerns that affect our local communities in respect of access to transport. Two actions that came from that event was the establishment of a Passenger Forum and a Transport Providers Network. This work was taken forward by the Moray Forum Transport Working Group made up of representatives of the Area Forums, Moray Council, NHS Grampian, tsiMORAY, and community transport schemes. In September 2013 the Working Group repeated the seminar to see how much progress had been made on the actions and issues identified in 2011. As a direct result of the work of the Group this Directory has been produced in order to address an on-going concern that has been expressed of the lack of information on what transport is available in Moray, the criteria for accessing certain transport services, and where to go for further advice. The Moray Forum Transport Working Group would like to acknowledge the help of all the people who provided information for this Directory, and thereby made a contribution towards the integration of public, private and community transport services within Moray.

  • Aberdeen History Trail the City Through Its Historical Times
    Aberdeen History Trail The city through its historical times #aberdeentrails #aberdeentrails Aberdeen is bursting full of history! From its ancient origins to medieval burghs and King Robert The Bruce, from the Jacobite connections to the expansion in the Edwardian and Victorian times, the ‘Silver City by the Golden Sands’ has a long, important, and interesting history with many of its people contributing to the wider world. The city started out as three separate royal burghs – Old Aberdeen, New Aberdeen and Torry plus the parish of Woodside – which expanded and merged together to form the city as a whole. There was a major expansion in the Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian eras as the city made its first fortunes based on fishing, granite quarrying and shipbuilding and many of the grand buildings were built during these times. It also included the main thoroughfare, Union Street, which was raised up away from the mud and dirt and built on a series of bridges – it was such a major project it almost bankrupted the city! Enjoy exploring our beautiful city and finding out about its history!
