Hello, I’m looking at maybe staying overnight in Inverness. Would have from late morning Saturday into Sunday evening. Is there anything cool and fun to do in Inverness? Castle any good? I don’t drive so I’d be staying quite central to the train station. Any recommendations for nice brunches or dinners? I don’t drink so bars and pubs are less useful to me unfortunately.
I passed through for a few hours over the summer, and stopped for brunch at the Culture Cafe which was a cute place. It’s all veggie/vegan, but the omnivores I was with enjoyed their food too. Just a few min walk downhill from the station.
Pizzas here are great, pretty central

Inverness castle’s still closed I think, unless you mean Urquhart Castle but that’s a bit of a bus ride away, out by Loch Ness. I’ve never been tbh, thought the ticket price to look at some ruins seemed a bit steep. Culloden battlefield and museum’s alright, it’s on the outskirts but only 20 mins or so on the bus, though think they can be infrequent. Otherwise it’s a pretty small city, can be nice to just wander about for an afternoon
The Mustard Seed was quite nice for a fancy dinner.
Get the train to Kyle of Lochalsh and back
Had a nice wander along the river, criss-crossing the various bridges for an hour or two during my brief visit there a couple of months back. Pleasant.
