Located in the city of Inverness, the Inverness Castle is located on a summit overlooking the town of Inverness. From the top of the hill you can get some great views to the west of the town and of the River Ness. The castle was built in 1835.
Inverness Castle is near the site of an older castle where it is rumoured that the murder of Duncan in Shakespear's Mabeth took place. It is now the houses the Sheriff's court. Near the rear of the castle is a statue of Flora MacDonald. Flora was made a heroine in Scotland for helping Bonnie Prince Charlie flee from the English after the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
