    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.

    ©2019 scotch whisky association DISCOVER THE WORLD OF SCOTCH WHISKY Many countries produce whisky, but Scotch Whisky can only be made in Scotland and by definition must be distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of 3 years. Scotch Whisky has been made for more than 500 years and uses just a few natural raw materials - water, cereals and yeast. Scotland is home to over 130 malt and grain distilleries, making it the greatest MAP OF concentration of whisky producers in the world. Many of the Scotch Whisky distilleries featured on this map bottle some of their production for sale as Single Malt (i.e. the product of one distillery) or Single Grain Whisky.

    Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park

    Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park Place-Names in the Cairngorms This leaflet provides an introduction to the background, meanings and pronunciation of a selection of the place-names in the Cairngorms National Park including some of the settlements, hills, woodlands, rivers and lochs in the Angus Glens, Strathdon, Deeside, Glen Avon, Glen Livet, Badenoch and Strathspey. Place-names give us some insight into the culture, history, environment and wildlife of the Park. They were used to help identify natural and built landscape features and also to commemorate events and people. The names on today’s maps, as well as describing landscape features, remind us of some of the associated local folklore. For example, according to local tradition, the River Avon (Aan): Uisge Athfhinn – Water of the Very Bright One – is said to be named after Athfhinn, the wife of Fionn (the legendary Celtic warrior) who supposedly drowned while trying to cross this river. The name ‘Cairngorms’ was first coined by non-Gaelic speaking visitors around 200 years ago to refer collectively to the range of mountains that lie between Strathspey and Deeside. Some local people still call these mountains by their original Gaelic name – Am Monadh Ruadh or ‘The Russet- coloured Mountain Range’.These mountains form the heart of the Cairngorms National Park – Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh. Invercauld Bridge over the River Dee Linguistic Heritage Some of the earliest place-names derive from the languages spoken by the Picts, who ruled large areas of Scotland north of the Forth at one time. The principal language spoken amongst the Picts seems to have been a ‘P-Celtic’ one (related to Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Gaulish).
